[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My young adult child doesn’t need or want money from his dad, he wants time.  A meal together just the two of them, a few hours fishing or even doing house projects.  He does get invited on the new family vacations but it’s an invitation in words only, the logistics would never work (think a cruise where only one cabin was booked for his dad, step mom and their two kids, elementary and toddler).  The room doesn’t even sleep five.

My XH’s new wife seems kind and is actually good to my adult son, it’s my XH who doesn’t make an effort to have a relationship with him.  I do believe at some point my son will stop trying.

They are offering time and you and your son refuse it.  Maybe they cannot afford a second cabin.  Some cabins hold six.  It’s a bit entitled to expect your own room on vacation.  Your ex gave up after you and your son said no enough times.  How many times should dad be rejected and expected to keep trying.  Then he is harassing you and your son and cannot win no matter what he does.  You don’t want your son having a relationship if your son keeps saying no to all invites. [/quote]
