Matthew Lillard is your father, he was a present, kind father, always by your side, smiling, full of energy..

why 'was'?, well your mother divorced him due to betrayal by your mother, she also took away your other brothers, this affected your father a lot.. psychologically and mentally.

his acting career declined not because of popularity but because he is no longer doing important roles..

every day he drank beer after beer, he was drunk 24 hours a day, he never stopped, maybe he only stopped when he was sleeping.

he was always on the couch in front of the TV with a beer in his hand and with other empty beers around..

now he was more grumpy, he was mostly angry at himself but he took it out on you, sad... less present.

*you came home late and it wasn't your intention to come back late it was the bus that was late because of the rain that was falling like a storm, you knew that your father was angry and didn't want to hear any objections and that he was capable of beating you.. *

Matthew:"Why are you home at this time." he looked at you with a cold look on that once happy face.. was unfortunately new.
