My parents divorced when I was 18, I am now 29. My father has remarried and seems happy, but he still carries the grudge that he has had against my mom since they divorced. He will not come to any family get togethers, including my childrens birthday parties or school functions, because my mom will be there. He has never said that is the reason, but it is obvious. If it is something that grandparents would be invited to, he comes up with an excuse every single time. For birthdays, he will say he is busy at the time of the party, but says he will bring by their gift later on in the day, or the next day. He misses out on everything in my kids life. I know some would say it is his loss, but I think it is also my kids too. I grew up very close to all 4 of my grandparents and want the same for my kids. I think it has been long enough that my dad needs to let go of his resentment against my mom for divorcing him. He is a very serious and stuborn man though. Any suggestion?
