There’s a scene in one of the bonus episodes of Euphoria, the one where it’s just the protagonist Rue and her NA sponsor Ali getting pancakes at a diner on Christmas Eve, where Ali steps outside to call his daughter. We know from previous episodes that Ali is a recovered crackhead with seven years of sobriety (twelve before that) and that at some point he lost his daughters. We’ve just learned, from his conversation with Rue in the diner, that he’d been physically violent with their mother, that there is shame wrapped up in this abuse, that Ali’s own father had beat his mother and that Ali, as a kid, had wanted to kill him for it. We can assume that his daughters must be grown now — Ali is in his fifties.
