[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to consider very seriously that they had some sort of interaction that you don't know about, or that you're refusing to recognize how inappropriate it was. It's not your place to decide what a woman should and shouldn't be comfortable with coming from a man. If she didn't like it, then it has to stop, period.

You never bring up anything serious *in* a Christmas card. Those are not for serious messages. They are for greetings and well-wishes *only*.

I'm not sure what you would say to your niece. She doesn't want to see him or hear from him. She was made uncomfortable by something he did, and if it was 16 years ago she was probably pretty young and at a sensitive age, so now she's got her boundaries up very high to prevent it happening again. The way to get people to lower their boundaries is to *respect* their boundaries and give it time, not to order them to change their boundaries. Anything you do to criticize her or pressure her to spend time with him will backfire and she will block and avoid you too.
