No, I do not need a wee break, thank you very much.

I will apologise for the accusation, however, as I was wrong. It did appear that you were repeating family gossip, with everyone in your family turning against the ‘outsider’. Since you have spoken directly with your Uncle and he has given you this information, I assumed incorrectly.

I hope him and his wife sort this out and it’s a momentary hiccup in their marriage. You seem to have a close relationship with your Uncle, too. I hope this helps him right now when he is in turmoil.
