You have every right to be pissed. But, what will this accomplish but eat you up inside or cause a rift in your family.

I'd say let it go and know that you're a better person for doing so.

true...and I have up to now....always let it go...and just relied on ourselves to get what ever we thought they would like.

However...the cycle just keeps repeating itself...over and over. I just hate the feeling that my son is not an important part in his life. I have had conversations with my dad about it in a round about way....didn't amount to much...

After reading some of the posts...and putting things into perspective I feel like I realize it is solely up to me and my wife to make sure that our son's happiness is up to us and not what other people give him.

You can't make someone do something that they don't already want to do...you can only rely on yourself to do that.

I usually don't let this stuff bother me and for what ever reason it did tonight...writing this post and reading the replies helped me remember what is important


Thanks guys...

The only constructive thing you can do here is speak directly to you Dad at a time and place when you can do so without anger. Don't expect miraculous results, though.

Glad to see you've thougth this through. Your bitterness may be justified, but it will only poison you. Good luck with moving on!
