Agreed. He loves his kids, but not the bad behavior. Contact goes off during conflict, then back on. It turns out that the son's mother bailed him out again (her choice and not our problem), and that my MIL and SD were more upset about his being locked up than he was.
It seems hard for DH to let go of family members. We're going to have to have an intensive POJA discussion about dealing with difficult relatives. Freedom to brainstorm ideas. Complete honesty with one another. He and I both win.
We're both stuck indoors on this damp, miserable New England evening. I'm going to approach him and get back to you.

Distance is being used not geographically, but emotionally in this sense. To stand back and not initiate contact until a sincere apology and resolve not to repeat the disrespectful behavior is forthcoming.
