Let’s put it this way: Father’s Day isn’t something they look forward to.
Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
The dad: Tywin Lannister
The issue: Tywin believes that Tyrion's birth defect brings shame to the Lannister name. Oh, and his wife died during childbirth, which shouldn't be Tyrion's fault but he's an easy target.
How it's resolved: Read the books, or keep watching Game of Thrones.

Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
The dad: Thatcher Grey
The issue: He's an alcoholic with a mean streak. He also blames Meredith for his wife's untimely death during routine surgery.
How it's resolved: Thatcher goes to rehab and returns a new man. He apologizes to Meredith (and his other daughter, Lexie) for years of bad behavior.

Jeff Winger (Community)
The dad: William Winger
The issue: William hasn't been around much. Or at all.
How it's resolved: The father and son finally reunite on Thanksgiving Day. Jeff gets to bond with his half-brother over what a lousy dad they have.

Kate Austen (Lost)
The dad: Wayne Janssen
The issue: Kate's creepy, abusive stepfather turns out to be her biological father. Gross.
How it's resolved: She kills him, shortly before learning the truth about her parentage. The dad who raised her is forced to call the cops, but he's kind enough to give her a head start.
