I can't imagine one of my children marrying someone I don't care for and then deciding to have nothing to do with my grandchildren. I just can't. I also can't imagine not wanting to be in the same room with someone based on their race. And this feeling isn't because my parents are different races. It's because I look at everyone as equals. His father doesn't. And it disgusts me. I shouldn't have even wasted space on my blog writing about him. Christine,

As traditional Koreans, my parents initially were very resistant to me marrying a Caucasian, but they eventually came around. And I have been grateful that my husband's parents have been receptive to me from day one. It's hard to imagine a grandparent shunning grandchildren; clearly whatever your FIL is carrying runs a lot deeper. It's a loss for your kids and also for him; I can't help but think that he ultimately will feel immense regret about not getting to know his descendants. That is so, so sad.
