You're absolutely right, he's trying to make up for what was taken from him. The only time they need him is when they're in trouble (mostly financially). I soooo get that. In a weird sort of way, having a deadbeat dad for mine allowed me to raise them the way "I" wanted to. His were raised on a greed basis.
I can't take this opportunity he thinks he has away from him.
