This hit close to home.. I feel your son's pain. I'd give pretty much anything just to get a weekend with my father. Please, try to set your priorities straight.
You're probably not a bad dad as your username suggests. You are just trying to provide for your family so they don't have to have financial worries. But the most important thing in a son's life is that bond with his father. My dad is always out of town providing for us. But as I was growing up he always tried to be there. Now in college I see that he does the best that he can with the given situation. Just know that a financially stable family isn't always the happiest.

Look, you raised a kid that isn't materialistic. That's a good thing. I was lucky. My parents are medical technicians and traded off shifts so one of them was always with me and my siblings when we were young.
