In one year, the illness eating away at Stiles’ mother sent his father spiraling into alcoholism, as he tried to battle his inner darkness with a bottle in each hand. Stiles’ godfathers, Peter and Chris, spent most of their time trying to pull the whiskey from his fingers, but it didn’t change the fact that Stiles was essentially losing both of his parents.
