My son, Brandon (30) is visiting for the w/e. He lives in Toronto (app 2.5 hrs away) so I don't see him as much as I like, especially since he sold his car last year. We've had a great time so far - boating, great meals and just chilling. It was a last minute visit - I suggested he come on the bus and it worked out well. Josh will drive him home later today.
He told me something last night that was bothering him. Said his dad had called him 2 weeks ago and asked him how Ryan was doing. He told him he wasn't sure. His dad replied "What do you mean you don't know - you're his brother"...
He told me he wanted to reply "Why don't YOU know? YOU'RE HIS FATHER!!!". But he didn't. He is very angry that his father is so uninvolved in all of their lives.
And 11 years ago my ex told me "Don't worry Barb. The kids will bounce back". There has been no bouncing!
