I can tell you that the con never had a normal relationship with any of his children. With the exception of occasionly bragging about how his daughter Invanka was "beautiful" or 'sexy", he never really mentioned any of his children at all.

He was never really there for them. He wasn't really a part of their lives. So his nonchalance about his son's wedding doesn't surprise me at all.
