My dad raised my brother like his own. My sons father’s dad treated his two oldest brothers like his own. My uncle treats my aunts oldest son like his own. Another uncle treats the woman he married kids like his own. My brother ex wife who remarried a new man—well that man treats my brothers kids like they are his. And in each one of these situations all of them are closer to stepdad than to biological dad. My brother has no relationship with his biological father. Even though my moms dead, my brother still talks to my father often and they go out together and drink and what not. He calls him for advice.
I think for every bad case there are good ones.
