RespectValeryanne - my instinct says that and that his wish for you to visit his house is his way of apologising and on that basis, why not give him a call next time you are nearby and arrange a time to call round. What he said clearly hurt but that's what children / grandchildren do and it seems to me that the best thing to do is just ignore it and move on. Separately, and picking up on Ben's comments about close family, my son told me about 18 months ago that my children no longer regard me as "family" as I live too far away and have no involvement in their day-to-day lives. he went on to say that yes, I was their dad, that they loved me dearly and knew that I was there for them but that didn't make me "family" in their eyes. Ouch! Two of my children make time to see me whenever I am home, but the third has cut me off completely because I am not "family" and will not even allow me to meet my new grandson. Ouch! You have a chance with Ben - take it!
