Am going trough this now it seems. And its driven by a douche bag brother in law. Its has accelerated lately, the distancing and the nastiness with the catalyst being a blow up on her part and me feeling bad enough to want to talk about it and them dismissing any need to apologize or show any empathy. How to deal with this and what has your experience been since your original post?
