Never had a great relationship growing up, he has never been one for talking much and was quite strict as we grew up, were never really that close.
I am 38, he is 57, the relationship has been 38 years obviously.
Fast forward many years and i now have a daughter which is his granddaughter. For context he lives 5 minutes down the road and is of fine health, still works full time and has nothing else really going on.
He makes literally zero effort with his granddaughter, he will text once a month/2 months to catch up BUT always expects me to take my daughter to his.
When i get there he basically doesent talk, doesent interact with her and usually seems in a hurry to be going out somewhere for shopping or something.
For christmas he got me and my daughter presents and decided to just exclude my partner for some reason (who i have been with for 15 years). Then it was my partners birthday and she didnt get a text or anything, just literally zero effort.
He has since contacted me to go out for a few hours to 'catch up' one day but i dont think i want to make the effort given he makes zero effort with the 2 most important people in my life.
TLDR:
Do i make the effort to go and socialise with my dad given he makes zero effort with the 2 closest people to me including his own granddaughter?
