I have nothing to do with my dad. He is a nasty peice of work and always has been. When I told him about my 1st pregnancy he said he didn't want to be a grandad. That was it! I misscaried that baby and heard nothing from him. When He eventually found out I was pregnant again with DS1 he said let's wait and see if you can keep it in for 9 months B4 you get excited!!! Like I was determined to make my life difficult. With DS2 he said I knew this phone call would be to tell me your having another baby...what do you want money? After that conversation (with other nasty things said also) I have never seen or spoken to him again and he has never met his 2nd grandchild! I don't want a nasty person around my children. I put up with him because I had to but they do not and so I cut all ties. From time to time I feel sad they will never know their granddad but then I remember it's for the best and the right choice for our family.
