Well, my parents are divorced, and my mother had already died. I have met my father very few times when adult. It's was my sister who brought my father to me again, and she was glad I intended to convert. But she is quite critical of Orthodoxy. At that time I just didn't know the difference between the various Jewish branches. It was short after my mother died, and I had inherited some properties, I was saving money to go to Israel as a tourist, and she even warned me not to intend to convert in Israel, because they'd make me an old fashioned orthodox. When I learnt that Conservatives didn't accept Hallacha, I chose Chabad. Since then she has avoided me.
