Meanwhile, it’s a big, beautiful world with many places and people. I am loving being away and with my family. My kids are loving this experience and getting to know their cousins. They said, “Let’s spend more time with these relatives on this coast more than the ones back home.”
Your mutual friend needs to butt out. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine when a third party tries to intervene and tell me how I should handle a toxic person, usually telling me I should forgive them and move on. Just so they can do it again. Nope.

If I were you I would ask the mutual friend, politely, to stay out of it.
