Have a wonderful time, I took my daughter to the Philippines to meet her father for the first time when she was 19 months old - it was interesting to watch - she didn't look to him for comfort or permission and he only ever played naughty permissive uncle anyway, they enjoyed it, after all he didn't want to be in a position where he had to say 'no' to anything! - now they have found the balance and built a strong bond - make the most of your time, and I hope you can all be together as a united family soon
