He was probably concerned about your familiar relationships. All relationships have an element of reciprocity. Plus he probably just missed you.

In your situation it sounds like he could have benefited by being a bit more curious and accepting.

IMHO as a parent rejecting the authencity of a child cancels out all the loving things you do because then you are not loving the child. You are loving an imaginary version of the child that only exists in your own head.

sooo many parents are guilty of this. Living through your child is unhealthy
