Well, first of all, besides Sly and Sage, no one knows what type of relationship they had. I can't imagine abandoning my child, but I don't know if that is what Sylvester did. These are Filiti's observations only.
I do know that there are people (I have had the unfortunate opportunity of meeting some right here on this site!) who say their child is "dead to me" due to the fact that they are gay, married outside of their race or just dating outside of their own race, etc.
So, people I guess do have reasons. Stupid, disgusting reasons in my opinion, for "freezing out" their children.
We really have know idea of what "happened" between Sly and his son.
RIP Sage.
WHAT TYPE OF FATHER COULD FREEZE OUT HIS OWN SON?

- It would seem that not all was right in the Stallone's family circle.
The late Sage Stallone's second cousin, Edd Filiti, reportedly lashed out on Facebook at Sylvester Stallone for failing to stay in contact with his son. 
that the website says were posted on Facebook and then removed, Filiti, 18, said Sage called his father to wish him a happy birthday earlier this month, but that dad never called back.
What did he do wrong, say happy birthday,” Filiti reportedly wrote. “Neither you [Stallone’s wife Jennifer Flavin] or he could return a phone call, which is all he wanted, his father. I know you don’t care what happened, but you’ll care when your (sic) squirming under the burning magnifying glass of public opinion.”
Filiti is the son of Stallone’s half-sister, Toni Ann. Jennifer Flavin married Stallone in 1997, ten years after he divorced Sage's mother, Sacha Czack.
Filiti had more unkind words for Flavin.

Who knows how long Sly had to support this kid when he was drinking and drugging. Who knows how many times Sly called and Sage couldn't be bothered to talk, or call back.
Good grief. It is NOT a mandate that parents call their kids everyday. And most don't. And since we have no idea WHAT else was going on, how about we just let this one be.
Know a family where one of the sons stole all valuables in the house to pawn for his use, even took his mothers wedding rings - emptied the bank accounts (found the pin numbers in the safe he cracked) - they severed all ties, I call them smart.
This is all tabloid/People magazine fodder. I could care less, BUT tend to be in the side of the parents when the kids have been handed EVERY advantage and still tend to be slaggards.
And it happens a fair lot in our society.
Unless you LIVE with this, don't even try to understand it.
