id definently apologize and make it up. dad took me EVErYWHERE and did everything with ME. the nights hed go coon hunting with his buddys..or a few times he went fishing where it was too dangerous for me to go i was crushed. when you young you dont know any better but to feel rejected...i now know fishing in a swift creek is too dangerous for a kid..and some of the hunting was too heavy for me at the time..and i now also know its nice to get out with the guys once in a while as well. when i was a kid i was spoiled by having a dad that took me hunting and fishing and scouting and shooting etc..ALL the time from the time i could walk. the times i didnt go i was crushed. when he would go hunting in the mountains for the weekends i thought he hated me and wasnt coming home. but i know now...then i didnt. definently try explaining it and making it up. the making up part is most important i think. i dont think he will truely understand if youd try to explain it....good luck..
