Adele, Dad Drama: Singer's Estranged Father Pleads for a Reconciliation

Just listen to how he speaks of what she chose to name her baby, and how 'he' is missing out on so much. What an idiot! He can't even get through the interview without spouting off on her choice of baby names?

He's self-centred and egotistical. Just from how he spoke in that interview speaks volumes.

Do what you need to do for yourself and your family, Adele. You're better off without him by the sounds of things.

did not read whole article but what exactly is it that she wont speak to him for? i had an alcoholic father who when i ended up in a wheelchair at 11 (i have spina bifida walking on crutches gets harder as your getting older and want to keep up) told me i was gonna get secretarial spread, told me its my fault my parents faught all the time , my fault my sister hates me cause i didnt want her at wheelchair sports (she went just not all the time) and told me my mother didnt think i deserved xmas gifts never once stopped my sister from verbally or physically abusing me and my mother well the list goes on and i still tried to have a relationship with them. I dont get along with my mom cause she just doesnt understand what that familys done to me and well my dad cant ask him why he hated me so much cause well he\s passed away almost 7 years! so again what has her dad done thats so terrible?

Adele needs to be more open minded. I'm surprised her mother has not helped her to understand. Alcoholism is not a game. Also, he did her a favor keeping away. To be involved with an alcoholic parent is traumatic. She could look at it that way. Also, her mother, Penny, apparently was dating someone else and got married eventually. That is another reason which might have played a part in the bio dad's estrangement. For Adele to respond such as she did, shows she is hurting too. There should be a meeting of the minds between him and her. He has 30 plus years to make up for the time he missed. She could give him a chance or continue to be in a fog. Her mother should ultimately allow Adele to forgive him.

Dude, you obviously jerked up her life, stop trying to ride the money train now. You just look like a pathetic old fool.

Adele needs to grow up...

he just wants your money.. if he was any kind of a father it would not be like this now...

I WANT MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW!!

You can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives.

Adele, darlin" Get a restraining order.

If he was so concerned about being part of her life, he would have never walked out on it before... Just because she now has a child of her own, doesn't mean the door to reconciliation should be open and certainly not because he thinks this is now the right time to come knocking... And please, questioning what the new parents named their child? And seeminging put out because she didn't name it after his late father? This guy isn't saying anything that would garner any of my sympathy. He made his choice many years ago... It's clear that for now Adelle has made hers.
