h dropped the d-bomb without reviewing the d-laws. i tried to warn him that it was going to hurt him financially. he felt that it was a small price to pay to get me out of his life.
that is a very angry response on his part, have you told us everything? Why would he feel the need to get you "out of his life" at any price?
I'll just say it, he sounds very angry. I don't think you're giving us the total story, I could be wrong but I'll put it out there anyways.
