Acceptance...

Thanks F - Your right about their relationship. It no longer includes me and I sometimes try to push it. I always encourage them to get together and let my S know how much his D must miss him.

My X didn't have much relationship with his father growing up either. I'm just hoping they do some family bonding. The Clam Bake has been passed down through generations and thought this would have been a good opportunity (they have steak too) since X was in town and so was S. And well the football game...its guys drinking beer and his son is now of age (which he hasn't even taken him out to celebrate that) and could have made it something to enjoy and share. Sometimes I see it as very selfish on X part not to even try to include S.

It's that expectation thing...I shouldn't expect anything from him. Even with his own children. It is hard to sit back and watch, but you reap what you sow.
