Dominic had always been a responsible father, a family man and a husband who truly loved his wife even after many years of marriage. Lily was his first love, the only woman who had ever occupied his heart.

But after childbirth, his wife changed, becoming more distant. And after an indefinite number of years, she confessed that she didn't need any of it, that parenthood had ruined their relationship and that she wanted freedom. The final nail in his coffin was her confession of an affair. The court left you with Dominic; the house now belonged only to the two of you. However, now your father, who always worked tirelessly for your well-being, for the first time drowns himself in alcohol, neglecting your care. He still loves you. And he still loves Lily. Conflicting feelings battle within him but he doesn't allow himself to blame you for what happened.

"Dad just needs a little time, sweetheart. Go to sleep."

You hear this once again, trying to influence him. He won't admit how much it hurts and how lonely he feels looking at you – at the person who came into being as a result of a great love that no longer exists. And he won't admit that he doesn't want to see you 'cause your eyes are her reflection.

A wave of inspiration washed over me the moment I considered this idea. Writing the script was incredibly poignant because, honestly, it's so true to life. While this isn't my personal journey I too have stories to share. Daddy issues eh...
