Grandfather Unable to Look at Grandson
In the 2015 film, Room... During a scene at dinner following the escape, the daughter remarked to her father that he would never look at or make eye contact with her son, his grandson.
Her father looked kind of disgusted and stood up, and she pressed the point further. He left the room without saying anything.
Why was he unable or unwilling to look at his grandson?

I will preface this by saying that I haven't seen the film yet. However, in the novel Jack's father is Old Nick - the man who was holding Ma and Jack captive. Ma's father would not look at Jack because doing so would make the father think of Old Nick - thus leading to anger, etc at the the kidnapping of his daughter.

Answer 2
It's because he's ashamed.
We could see that Joy's father is genuinely happy and relieved when he meets his lost daughter at the hospital. But even though Jack is as innocent as he is and even though Jack is the one who helps his mom (Joy) escape from the room and even though Joy believes that Jack is no one's son other than her own, Joy's father is unable to let go of the fact that Jack is a rapist's and a kidnapper's son and he's ashamed of Jack for that and could not look at him.
