I can understand the son wanting to talk to his father; this could be the son's opportunity to get answers about his father's absence. From what I read, the father chose not to be in his life, so why would he want to connect now? His son is pretty much grown, so the father missed out on a father-son relationship. Hopefully, the son learned how to be a man by father figures. The son should trust his instincts and not get too close.
