My husband just likes talking to our adult kids and spending time with them. He wants to hear about their job, their love life and what they are doing. He likes to talk to them about sports, politics, and other regular stuff. He just wants to be part of their lives.
Find a common hobby and plan to experience it together. One son bought an old corvette and called his dad over to work on it. They both enjoy working on old cars. Another son loves fly fishing...so he called up his dad to learn the skill. The father had been military and stationed world wide...missed a lot of kid moments. As adults they understand that time shared is feelings spared.
My one son could call his Dad every day and he'd only get shunned. It's sad really. His Dad thru out the years has openly favored the older son. I stopped encouraging my youngest to build a bridge...his Dad is there to torch it.
I wonder if the younger son has "butt hurt" the father. Lately I think this is very possible in father/son relationships. Or the father is just selfish or narcissistic if only the older son provides the supply he needs.

Politics has driven us apart if anything, but at least he says it's good I have my own opinion. Often I just pretend to like liberal rhetoric. Sports/ activity is something I been trying to get him to do for ages but the stepmom isn't fit and always drags him down with her, doesn't want him to be fit either especially if it's an activity with me and not her.

It doesn't have to be politics or sports. My point is that my husband doesn't really care what they talk about when they talk. He just wants to be part of their lives. They talk about regular, mundane things.
F him. He talked about disowning me. I disowned him. He ignores some very serious issues with my stepmother. She said that an astrologer says my future wife will have 2 miscarriages, said I stole from the company, lies all the time about me. I ended up disowning them. Such abusive parents. I could/would never treat my child like that, it's just beyond me. Well now he will live with this while I live my life.
