[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 608745, member: 14557"] I think I'm in reality more afraid how much I may get burnt myself than about my sons at this point. For them, even at best, my dad would be just 'Oh, you are my grandfather, interesting to get to know you'-type of relationship. For me, it [B]is[/B] my Dad. Despite everything, I am emotionally connected. I doubt my sons would build that much of emotional connection to him. They are young and very busy with their own lives, 'new' grandfather would not have much space in their universe. Of course getting to know him would kind of be their right. He is part of also their history. And while easy child doesn't seem to have gotten much from him (some mannerism and enough looks that one can believe they are related and some talent for drawing), difficult child does have more in common with him. While he doesn't look anything like him, he has the same intensity and drive, and quite a few of his character flaws too. [/QUOTE]
