Atend the funeral?

Perfect opportunity squandered to settle old wounds and forgive, now a worse obstacle is in place to overcome, and more hard feelings generated.

Always allow people to settle at death what possibly could not have been said in life.

It was very bad form the adult children showed to their father trying to pay his respects, and spiritually I think an accounting will have be given for their bad form.

Children still must honour their father no matter what they think of him.

I agree with Amy. He should have contacted his children before the funeral and asked them how he could be supportive of the children. He should NOT have come to the funeral.

He already proved what he thought of their mother when he divorced her and married an old girlfriend.

If he cared about the children, he should’ve asked them in advance how he could support them, and not pretend that he was being respectful to the mother whom he grossly disrespected years before. Too late to mend anything with their mother. Respect the children’s wishes. That’s the best mending.
