It’s not worth it too be honest. Any attempt at reason is met with hostility.
‘I forbid you to clean the carpet’ I think were the words used when Mrs axe said we would pay the £50 ourselves.
As soon as we can get this settled and get him out our lives the better. Sadly this means it’s likely his daughter will be back in the firing line.

Is he the elder? I certainly would be telling to take a hike. There is no way anyone would be forbidding me to do anything.

No, he is a couple of years younger.
From the very first time I met him I knew he had difficulties dealing with other people and for most of the last 30 years I was just glad it was other people he was falling out with. It became our turn just before the covid lockdown and worsened about two years ago.
It’s now irreconcilable and thankfully we have a route out. Once he has fallen out with you there is no way back. Albeit he has reconciled with his daughter who there was a big issue with when she was about 15. We sense it’s a fragile reconciliation.
It’s actually quite sad, but given he won’t entertain any contact there is no route to finding common ground.

And what’s worse is his counsellor appears to be guiding the way he acts but of course they only know his side of the story.

That is such a sad situation and like you say counsellor only hearing his side.
I do hope Mrs Axe gets out of this madness as soon as possible 😢

The sad thing is that having lost her mum, Mrs axe is now without anyone on her side of the family as ger father sadly died when she was 12.
I know Christmas Day with our children and my family will be a tough day.
However, today we had a day out using a voucher our children gave us last Christmas for a fancy restaurant and we managed to sort a few things out in our heads whilst having a good time.

Aw that good. Christmas Day like you say will probably be tough for you all but as long as you are all together.
