Yeah, I am taking a day or two to consider my words, because I want to approach him in a way that's also kind to him, but he's also being kind of an arse to his kids right now. And I know I don't see what it is 24/7 - but if everything is a grudge and based on every thing from before, my nephew doesn't have any opportunity for the relationships to be anything different. And that's sad and terrible for all of them.
