NAH, but your grandparents kinda are. They are guilt tripping you for very valid feelings. Its very sad that your dad couldn’t be there for you when you were younger. But to repair that relationship he needs to see your feelings or at least you need to express them to somebody. Maybe a family therapy might help.

Sometimes the storm is needed so all family members are aware of each others feelings, here mainly your dad about yours.

Conflict is not necessarily a bad thing, it might be a chance to get together and for your dad to really see how you are and to keep working on the relationship.

“F**king hell. NTA. As a father, if that’s what he wants to be, it’s his job to sit there and take it. All the shitty things he did, the idiotic mistakes of youth, the poor decisions, the lack of time he spent just being there. That’s all on him. Yes, he was young and dumb, but that was him. You don’t get a do over on being a father. Raising a kid is like carving a stone, any mark you make is left. You could carve it out, but that’s an even bigger mark. And the other part of being a father is taking all of that shit, some of it justifiable, sometimes it’s not, and loving your kid anyway. I’m sure there are some extreme examples where someone’s child is so horrendously monstrous you’d want to disown them, but I can’t imagine one that would make me change my stance on my own children. I’d be disappointed and upset, but I’d still love them. You’re going to hold this over his head until the day he dies, and he has to be comfortable with that. Even if you manage to move past it, you’ve literally grown around this. It’s a part of who you were as a child, and has defined what you’ve become as an adult. Dude needs to read some parenting books, talk to some other parents, heck – talk to his own father. And the f**ked up thing is, he’ll probably realise these lessons far too late with his new family. Focus on your own healing for now. You’re just not ready to apologise, maybe in 16 years time. Maybe not.”
