[What she wants to ask is why he does that. It's hard for her to think of calling her dad something that sounds affectionate, and her dad was only blind and indifferent to her at his worst.]

I wish things had gone differently with him.

[But their visit had been a disaster, and she's not sure it could've possibly gone any other way.]
