And the reality is that the dad realizes that he's not going to live forever, and likely has a terrible fear of being/dying alone. If a woman (ie new wife) is willing to live with him, he'll give up *a lot* for that prospect of companionship.
The kids become second fiddle when mortality is in play. Odds are at some point he'll come around down the road. Or not. Either way, you can make it your problem and swim around in your own sturm and drang, or you can just focus on your own life.
