...subject many kids from broken homes face. The custodial parent turning the child against the the non custodial parent. At that happens a lot more than we may think.

When my mum told me my dad didn't want me, I began thinking that was what she was doing, but she really wasn't. She wanted for my sister and me to have a relationship with him, it is he who has chosen to cut us out of his life a second time (he refuses contact with my sister for a different reason to me.)

I think it broke my dad's heart and I know it deeply hurt my grandmother and aunt and uncle.

And I am pretty sure it would have broken your heart as well. Maybe not in a way that was obvious, but still there.

I am glad you got back in contact with your dad though, and that through that contact he got better and lived to begin enjoying life with you.

Thanks for your kind words. When I really think about it, I can see he obviously doesn't want his first born kids in his life and is using any excuse possible to make that happen. So yeah, I am a better person for trying to not allow for that to happen. And as I always say to Sapph, in the end, he is the one missing out, I'm not.
