Are we also forgetting how much of a shit father he was in both TNG and DS9?

Worf got done dirty with that whole storyline, particularly at the start, but I thought he was a better character by the end of it. K'Ehleyr doesn't tell Worf he is a father until Alexander is born, then K'Ehleyr dies shortly after telling him. Worf didn't want Alexander to grow up with the shame he was feeling (due to being a dishonored Klingon at the time) and thought he would have a better life on Earth with his own foster parents, which happened for a time. Alexander then came back to the Enterprise after his foster parents (or grand parents I guess) said they were too old to raise a Klingon. Worf and him had an OK relationship I guess, with it becoming better after the Episode "Firstborn". After the Enterprise-D bites it in the movie, Alexander goes back to Earth as Worf thought he would be happier there, as Alexander didn't want to become a Klingon warrior. Alexander decides to be a warrior anyway in DS9 and now does act like he was abandoned...although Worf does decide to help him be a Klingon warrior. Alexander does fit in on the ship he is serving on though, being considered a "good luck charm". Alexander is also present at Word's wedding to Jadzia, showing that their relationship is patched up.

While rocky at times, I say things worked out between the two of them. It added depth to Worf's character at any rate.
