But....
I choose to hold my head high and show him I am above the nonsense and he has no part in my life - even bringing me down. I figure this is the biggest win I can have against him. For him to see I am doing well is the battle won.

I don’t intend on asking my brother to not invite him. But when it does come to family and they choose you’re exes presence with you there it is a hard one to stomach especially since I consider my brother to be my friend too. I haven’t been to anything yet with him there that is still to come. It’s a good reminder though that friends and family will gladly choose to stay friends with exes. It would be much easier if I had moved on and already dating but that’s not even the case.
That would be hard for you to have to be in that situation.
