so theres this senior citizen

Like imagine your estranged father finally comes home after 20 years. You don't ask why he was gone. You just accept him back into your life because you're terrified that if you push, he'll abandon you again.

He's pretty distant in the begining. He doesn't like your husband (but you're not that mad; because to be honest, you don't really like your husband). He doesn't talk to your daughter; except to make snarky remarks.

But most importantly, he barely spends time with you. Yeah, he says nice things to you; compliments your food, praises your intelligence; but it's... empty. He never actually spends time one-on-one with you. You hoped that when he came back, you would reconnect. You would have some daddy-daughter bonding time. Take back all those things you lost in your childhood. But he doesn't.

Instead he spends all his time with your son, Morty. And yeah, it's nice that he's connecting with the family. You've always wanted your father to meet your children; be part of your life. But you can't help but feel... bitter. Morty is the one that Rick always wants to spend time with. Rick always makes gadgets for Morty (Like he used to do for you when you were a kid). Morty gets to spend his childhood with Rick there.
