Where is he ?

Where is Max's Dad, my father in law ? Who knows? who cares? He has just disappeared. Oh not from his home but from our lives. Totally gone, no sign of communication what so ever. Before Doudou was born things where already fragile with Max and his Dad, we never knew why. They hadn't spoken for months prior and we hadn't seen him for almost a year. It bugged the hell out of me, I wanted it to be all ok...I remember writing and being so upset over it.....but today I don't give a shit. He is no father.

Before Doudou was born Max was insisting he wouldn't be telling his father of his arrival but the day Doudou was born he was just so elated and so proud he decided to call his father and tell him of the wonderful news. He now wishes he hadn't. Max told me his father would have been a lot more excited if we had just bought a puppy dog. Disappointed. The next day was Max's birthday, so his father asked Max if he could see him on his birthday but Max declined because he was going to be at the hospital and wanted to celebrate his birthday with his wife and his new son. Why would he want to spend it with him, after not seeing his sick son for over a year and why not call him prior why use Max's phone call ?
And that was the last we have heard from him. A while ago Max wanted to write a letter to him telling him how he really felt and that he didn't want him to be at is funeral and not even to think about writing a eulogy for him, but he decided against it as it was just going to bring up all these unwanted emotions and his father just isn't worth Max's precious energy.
He can fuck off for I care, he is not wanted in our lives. He is no father, he is no grandfather.

Sounds like a very selfish, awful man. Good riddance!

The common thought is that this is a big loss for his father (and we know it is because Max rocks and the fact that he doesn't know Doudou leaves a huge gaping hole in his world because Doudou rocks), but I have to imagine this is a loss for Max as well. My heart is with Max. What an absolutely sucky situation.

I second what Mel says. It is a loss for all of you not to have a loving caring presence in Max's dad. Wish it was different , and wishing at the same time for peace with the way things are.

I just find that to be very strange behaviour. Annacyclopoedia said it well.
