My 5 year old grand daughter's father has had little interest in her since she was born. He divorced my daughter 2 years ago, when my grand daughter was 3, and although my daughter and myself have encouraged him to have a relationship with his daughter,(after much research told us that it would be unhealthy emotionally for her to think that her dad didn't want her), he continues to be very half hearted about the time he spends with her. Now, after a conversation I had with her recently, I am confused about whether we have done the right thing. When I asked her if she missed her dad, she said "not really, I actually miss Chocolate" (the dog). She has never been keen to go with him when he does find time for her, and has had a loving father figure in my daughters new partner for the past year. Should we continue to encourage her to see him, or just let him fade out of her life? She never asks about him, rarely mentions him, and has a wonderful relationship with her mum. Does anyone have any advice? Maybe adult daughters who have been let down or vice versa by dissinterested fathers.
