All I can say is that we haven't seen he and his family in five years
although we talk on the phone. He's willing to carry on a short
conversation if we call him. I don't understand his attitude and neither
does his mother. He and our daughter were great friends when young but
she now has nothing to do with him at all. I think many families have
social climbers in them that just want to forget the family they came
from. Oh well, it will all even out in the end.
