The funniest shit about my father thinking I'd accept him being a crappy grandfather is that he thinks he'd be the only grandfather so I'd allow it. Like an abusive grandfather is better than none.

And I have no idea where he got this idea from because my daughter has this whole other amazing family and her grandfather ADORES her. He's incredible. He does so much for my girl, let's her decide what they're gonna do, buys her things that a lot of thought has clearly gone into and spends time with her. He helps us, night or day, with household things when we're struggling, like electrics, cars or plumbing. If we can't fix it, grandad can. He's this amazing example of what family does for family, and the love and care we should show for each other.

Why tf would I need a grandfather who smokes with kids in the car with the windows shut? Who yells at kids because they aren't obedient automotons? Who treats his own daughter like shit and has no respect for family? Who treats kids like his personal emotional support? Why would I need that in my kid's life? I don't. He's never met her and he never will, and it's entirely down to the disturbing comments about my child that he made when I was pregnant. I was willing to give him a chance to be a grandfather but he could barely muster decent human being. So no. You don't get that chance.
