It's sad when we realize that although they are 'family,' we don't want to be associated with them any longer. We feel that we 'should,' because they are family, but people are people. There are ones we want to be around and ones we want to avoid. The label 'family' doesn't change that. It just makes it sad...

Thank you.
Even before this all started I had taken the decision that I wanted as little to do with my uncle as possible. He's only friendly to you when he wants or needs something of you. He's arrogant and looks down on other people. He's also extremely jealous of my father and aunt; according to him my grand parents always put them over him. Which is kinda true, but only because of his behaviour. He's always looked down on the family business (started by my great grandfather), my father followed in my grandfather's footsteps and took over store, he never showed any interest in it.
This behaviour is also the root of all the problems. But now he realizes he's got his back against the wall. My aunt is now on our side, the judges has ruled in our favour in one case and in the other the judge, before sending my father and uncle to mediation, asked some very difficult questions and my uncles answers didn't satisfy him.
As I said, the details need to be hammered out. That won't happen for another month. You never know if my uncle's got a trick up his sleeve, but chances are very slim at the moment.
