NLW, I'm very sorry he's being insensitive and a PIA. Their priorities are not the same as ours. To even ask his daughter to go look for the guitar is inexcusable when he should have contacted you about it.
As for your son, I'm sorry about the situation. Maybe something will transpire in the next few months that will turn the decision around about his tuition and school. If he ends up going to another school, they may have a band and he can join it. You never know what will happen in the next 6 months. Stay positive on this situation.
If you still have the guitar and case, put it somewhere that you can easily locate it if he should want it again. I certainly wouldn't change my plans for him, your BIL or nephew when it comes to getting things for you h. Heck, he's got money, he could go out and purchase another one at this point in time. Maybe Scrooge will bring him one.
I hope that you and your family have a nice Thanksgiving. I know you've got a lot on your plate and are stressing over the tuition situation, but do try to put that stuff aside on Thursday and enjoy your day w/your family.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
