This sounds very much like my dad, only he is not remarried (I'm afraid he never will be), and he doesn't drink...so it's rare that he "loosens" up. I really think my dad doesn't like my FI because he has tattoos. So he has this distorted vision of what Cory is like, and he is not like that at all. I dont think my dad has ever gotten over that vision. And my FI also just tolerates him because he's my dad.
