[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes this happened to DH a few years ago and he has not spoken to his dad since then. They never had a good relationship and then had a falling out. It’s totally weird having to explain your way around it when it comes up in conversation with other people.

Do you think you will reconcile at some point? I have no idea if DH will. I think it just doesn’t really bother him all that much somehow.[/quote]

Same here. DH and his dad have always had a rocky relationship, but it went completely off the rails after MIL filed for divorce. By all accounts it was a miserable marriage and DH says they should’ve divorced much earlier. FIL relocated to a different area of the country and we visited him twice before he and DH had a huge blowout fight, which caused us to cut our visit short. That was five years ago and we have not visited since; FIL has gone pretty much no contact and DH has largely come around to acceptance. I don’t know if they will ever reconcile; I don’t think about it much honestly. FIL is a bitter and unpleasant person and I would rather not spend the money and hassle on visits. Its a shame he isn’t interested in his grandchildren, but it is what it is. [/quote]
