Chris and Toby were fortunate to have their stepfather to partner with their mother, Maggie, in rearing them. Their biological father, Sir Robert Stevens, although enormously gifted, was a drunkard, a philanderer, and a careless and absent father.
To be fair Sir Robert Stephens parents were physically abusive towards him as a child, he had a miserable childhood and looking at it objectively he may have drank to keep the demons away. Which obviously wasn't successful, he says in his autobiography that he couldn't cope with being alone which could be another side effect of his upbringing and the attention seeking probabily lead to the affairs. He had a complete nervous breakdown when he and Maggie Smith separated she remarried and moved to Canada and stayed there for a period I could see how he could be absent in the everyday lives of his sons. It was the 70's , no social media zoom etc it's alot easier to remain in touch now
She didn't stop coming around. Her then-husband, Sir Robert Stephens, stopped coming around. For long periods of time after the divorce, he had no contact with either of the boys. Fortunately, Maggie remarried a wonderful man who was an excellent stepfather to the children
