My Daughter Asked Me To Meet My Granddaughter After 17 Years. AITA For Saying Don't Care For Her Or Her Daughter And To Never Contact Me Again?
--------
In this story, a man in his 60s reflects on his fractured relationship with his daughter, which began when she was 15 after he had an affair that led to the dissolution of his marriage. His daughter cut him out of her life, and despite his attempts to reconnect during the first year, he eventually gave up. Seventeen years later, his daughter reached out, apologizing for the estrangement and expressing a desire for him to meet her 12-year-old daughter, his granddaughter. However, feeling indifferent and emotionally disconnected, he told his daughter that he didn’t care about her or her daughter and to never contact him again.

After receiving overwhelming feedback from Reddit users calling him the asshole, he updated the post, explaining that he had been drunk during the initial conversation. He called his daughter the next day to apologize, and she surprisingly forgave him. He invited her, her husband, and their daughter to visit him before he moved abroad. They stayed for a week and had a pleasant time, but in a private conversation, he admitted he had no interest in being a grandfather, which deeply hurt his daughter. Though he left the door open for future visits, he felt the emotional disconnect was too deep to repair, and the visit seemed like a final goodbye. Neither has reached out since.

In summary, the man acknowledges his failings as a father but remains emotionally detached, even after reconciling with his daughter. He has chosen to move on with his life abroad, content with the idea that their relationship is essentially over.
