No man is perfect, we're all a work in progress.
OP
Since you put it out there, you have go work through the pettiness and vindictiveness. You control the amount of access your son and father gave with each other.
He needs to know who and where he comes from, and both of your parents are part of those roots.
"Depriving" him sounds like you think you 're "getting back" at your father. You're not, and the notion of doing that is an emotional response that shows the level of hurt you carry around. He's your Father, so you naturally still seek his validation. And you seemed to be even more upset that he had a different response to your sister's news vs yours.
You're not going to be able to resolve issues with your father, so just limit the amount of time your bring your child around him. But he needs to know who his people are.
That is the ultimate question I would ask. Did your father abuse you? You may not liked the way you were raised, but you do not have to worry about that with your child, because it is your job to raise the child. It is the job of the grandparents to give advise and spoil the grandchild. So if your father is not abusive, then I think you may be letting a bit of your anger to hinder you from seeing the possible benefits your child may receive from doting grandparents.
Still, in the end the decision is ultimately yours (collectively you and the mother that is).
OP doesn't have boundaries. If he did he wouldn't be flooding this board full of strangers with threads about how much he hates his father, and what he can do to hurt him.
boundaries require decorum, The fact you can't tell the difference isn't shocking at all...
Let me ask ya'll in all sincerity
Would you consider consist emotional neglect and purposeful emasculation as a sign of abuse?
Not little jokes, but consistent and constant putting of someone down when they make a mistake and downplaying when they succeeded?
It's not like I put his full name out there.
Breh in all honesty...Have you ever forced your old man to confront the issues you have with him? Because if you pull some passive aggressive shyt like this it's just going to blow up in your face. He will be reaffirmed that he kept you in the right place, and your son will grow to resent you. If this isn't some elaborate troll job, you really need to put your cards on the table. At least then you can make a decision based on how he approaches and reacts to your concerns.
he's not a man of any measurable character, I've tried for years
When I graduated from military school
when I got into the army
when I got out of the army
When I started my business
That's a period of almost 20 years where I've tried to be the bigger man and got nothing but bullshyt and somebody playing in my fukking face time after time again.
This fakkit literally tried to file for an order of protection against me because I purchased three firearms over a two year period, because he thought I was gonna come after him.
Let me repeat this like Umar Johnson
My father has never deprived me that I would ever even entertain such a ridiculous notion.

My father has never deprived me that I would ever even entertain such a ridiculous notion.
It's not fukking fair that I get treated like a fukking leper because he's now afraid of me based on some unfounded ass reason (not that I even mind at this point) but the fact it needs to be water under the bridge for his grandson, that let me reiterate, he wasn't even all that gung ho about when he was born?
I'm not trying to come off like I'm looking for validation, but how does that seem right?
I smell what OP is cooking and I like it. Fill that kids head with lies and half truths about his grandfather. Get creative with that shyt.
I am not downplaying the abuse and neglect that you received from your father.Let me ask ya'll in all sincerity

It doesn't seem right. It seems like you got a raw deal. How is the relationship between your old man and your son?
We live not even 10 minutes away from each other.
When we were at the hospital
my Uncle was there, even my knucklehead cousin who always in trouble or locked up made sure he came through. When we brought him home, everyone was there except him.
But now, every time I talk with my mama about anything I get the "Ricky, when you gonna bring... over". Mind you breh, he did NOT act like this when my sister had her kids at all, he was there from day one.
“My father gave me food, shelter and values but he never hugged me!!! fukk him!!!!”
You unhinged mental midget.
You know what breh...I apologize. It seems like over the years you've tried to build a bridge and create a relationship, but you just keep getting slapped down. A person can only try so much. My only suggestion would be separate yourself, but don't pull the rug out. It's just going to cause even bigger, unintended issues.
