A Father in Name Only? The Funeral He Didn’t Attend

In a tale that tugs at the heartstrings, a man finds himself in the crosshairs of public opinion for his decision not to attend the funeral of a boy he was legally bound to, but never knew. Despite being the boy’s legal father, he had no relationship with him, and felt no obligation to attend the funeral. His ex-wife, however, saw things differently, accusing him of being a terrible human being. Caught between his own convictions and the wrath of his ex, the man is left questioning his decision.
