[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents are terrible and this is 1,000% not your fault. It is not and will never be your job to referee them.

Nothing the OP said about her father indicates he is anything other than a good father.

Her mother is terrible, not her father.[/quote]

Am I taking crazy pills?

OP had a baby a month ago, & dad has not made any move to meet the baby or visit/support his daughter in this big life event. The only time he offers to visit postpartum daughter & new grandchild is on thanksgiving, when he will “be in town” (so he’s not even making this visit for the purpose of seeing daughter/grandchild). And he offers to come over to meet them - and have a big dinner that they prepare & pay for.

OP didn’t say anything disparaging about her father, but this scenario tells a lot. [/quote]

Yup. She is grateful for scraps.

OP, did your mother suck it up for your wedding, or did she refuse to attend if your father was there? Because I know a lot of divorced parents who will suck it up on occasions that require it (graduations, etc) but given a choice, one of them will minimize time with the other, and for good reason.

Your mom really, really doesn't want to be around your dad, who isn't making you a priority. Why are you so desperate to see him?[/quote]
