Dead beat dad for life

I like many other men in the united states am a product of a broken home. Like others, I endured the stories and excuses throughout the years of why my parents were the way that they are. I recently tried to make a connection with my father after 24 years by letting him and my adopted sister move in with my wife and I and two children. My dad has always been what I like to call a "runner". After moving in mid October it became evident I had made a mistake. There was something not right with my father. We soon did not trust him alone with our two young girls. I am not implying anything ever happened but when your gut tells you to protect your kids you do. My dad left recently and I have heard from him three times since. Two of those times he was drunk. I love my dad but at this point in my life I have to realize he is a destructive force in my life and I am better off without him. I have not shared all the details of why he ran to Idaho of all places this time but maybe in a future post.
