Lana,

Yes, it has been the hardest part about it for me, but I think I am ready now to let it go. I won't invite him to see them again or suggest that he do anything with them. If he asks I'll just give him a day and time--nothing more. I'm mentally prepared for anything he is going to throw at me at this point.

He spewed a lot in the beginning because he would poke me and I would respond. Since early December I have not responded so it is mostly Mr. Ice Cold Fish. If I say anything he doesn't like he completely ignores it and me. Boy does he not like it when I do the same thing back.

Sounds like yours is still in the tunnel (mine is still bad replay so he won't be out for a long time, if ever). He wants them to celebrate something stupid like his golf win while he probably never asks them anything about their own lives.
