I understand others reaction on my baby's turning his back (like) to his father. It is sad but lets not invalidate his feeling (due to his father's rejection to him before). We saw how long he waited and desparate he tried reaching out when he was young. I personally think that their way of healing (both him and his father) right now is more realistic. They are confuse, awkward yet love each other silently and in their own way. Hopefully, with how they are tring to communicate though it was awkward, if they continue trying, sooner or later, they will build a new relationship, much better than what they had. :)
