My grandfather is the same way - totally distant and primarily concerned with what other people think. Personaly, I don't bother trying to share "real" stuff with him, because I feel like it will upset him and I'll be disappointed with his response. Instead I find other people who are warm and responsive to be a part of my life - my "family of choice."
