Smilie ...... GOOD FOR YOU! for making the decision to not see these people. In the beginning, I really tried to go to all our family functions and continue to be "nice" ..... no more. I wised up, after a few very unpleasant encounters with him, I thought "no more." Today "the King" had our family to his house to celebrate our oldest daughter's birthday, and I chose not to go. My daughter knew why. My son, who came down about 2 hours for the dinner was going to call me between 3 and 6 before he headed back to his place. Well, he didn't call, so I gave him a ring about 5:30 and there was no answer. I imagine his Dad found something to do and of course, "what Mr. N. wants, Mr. N. gets" one way or another.
