I have almost finished the book, but after looking up his son Daniel online, I find it strange that Patrick claimed that their relationship is "non-existent" in an interview from November 2023 https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/patrick-stewart-children-relationship-b2442190.html
In the memoir, Daniel comes over to LA, Patrick gives Daniel much credit in developing his one man Christmas Carol show just before its run at the London Old Vic.
Granted this was some time ago, as the Old Vic run was in 1993.
And then they worked together again in the Starz show Blunt Talk from 2015-2016, so not super long ago.
Edit: Now I have actually finished the book. In the last chapter, Stewart says his relationships with his children Daniel and Sophie “remain a work in progress” due to the hurt caused by his divorce with their mother Sheila, whom he curiously doesn’t name in that paragraph.
Non-existent is probably hyperbole, but I think it's pretty reasonable to feel that way after your kids have grown and you realize you never made the time to really focus on them. Even if you have a nominal relationship later, it's as an adult, it's only certain times a year, it's focused on the grandkids etc.
Sounds like standard empty-nester then.
