Steve's own parents abandoned him (gave him up for adoption) when he was young and so Steve was raised by foster parents. His foster parents seemed to have been really nice people, but perhaps Steve might have had difficulty connecting with his first biological daughter because he couldn't connect with his own biological father. Just speculating of course ...

Even if he couldn't have connected with her emotionally he could so easily have looked after her financially as she grew up. To have left his daughter in poverty when he was so wealthy is just the pits. I can't admire a man like that.
