[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't bother personally.

My dad sounds somewhat similar, but worse. Always lived a few hours away but never GAF, was abusive to my mom. I have a lot of that side of the family on facebook (cousins, his sisters/my aunts, etc) who I have slightly more of a relationship with. Anyways, when I was 25 or so, getting engaged/buying a house/etc and posting on FB his gf reached out to me and started guilting me saying how much my dad wanted to see me, how hes not in good health etcetc. He had his own facebook account, but for some reason she's messaging me? Anyways, its been 10 years and he's still alive, still hasnt contacted me himself.

It worries me that he just recently told you he has other kids that he also doesnt have a relationship with. It sounds like he just dumps them when they no longer serve him. I would not expose my kids to that. He doesnt sound like any sort of positive influence. And you dont just get to abandon your kids and show up to play grandpa for some good feels. Foff. [/quote]
