I'm still struggling with this and getting some feedback in my circle of friends that I should tell the relative in advance of the event that I don't approve and don't want to talk to him there, so that I avoid making a scene (which I already know I want to avoid at all costs).
Any other thoughts out there? I would especially appreciate the perspective of anyone who has had to deal with this directly.
Thanks.
