A week or so ago, a friend of my found WH's wayward father on Facebook.
I tell WH about it & say now you have a way to contact him.
WH says, 'Oh I can tell him he is a grandfather'.
I'm thinking: now you can have that talk with your father about how he abandonned you and how now you've just repeated family history!!!
Now WH, it turns out, who is the most anti-Facebook snob I know, has just signed up to Facebook and is one of his Dad's Friends. Along with his Dad's other children from 3 broken marriages.
Funny - me and other family members and friends have been hassling my WH for years to talk with his Dad about the past and why he left and never contacted his son.
Only now, does WH do it!
My friend who originally found his Dad on Facebook, emailed him and passed on my email.
Jsut received a mail from him this morning. He congratulates me on the baby, wants to see pictures and know more about us.
I am going to do that, and tell him what WH has done (probably has WH's version) and say that for years I wanted to know why he abandonned his son and what affect that had on him.
