I suspect Chelsea’s never met her grandfather and has heard only negative things about him. RO’D’s been shooting her mouth off for years about how “emotionally distant” her father was when she was growing up. Gee, an American heterosexual man being emotionally reserved? That used to be called “normal” — frustrating at times, perhaps, but typical of most fathers. Meanwhile, RO’D’s father’s wife died and he raised five kids on his own. Does RO’D give him credit for anything? Not that she’s ever let on publicly. Anyway, she probably regrets that, now that she’s having trouble with one of her own children.
My father was, too.....AND an alcoholic. Didn’t turn ME gay.
