Im sure your Dad would be extraordinarily proud of you. In the time I have known you, you have turned Everything round and climbed many mountains very successfully.
Im also sure he would have given John a slap upside his head more than once. Stop beating yourself up about it. This stuff happens in families.
I agree with DL. However, those sorts of guys never grow up. Reconcile yourself to there always being discord between you and *never* give him another opening again. He is not and never will be your friend, or even a harmless acquaintance.
BTW, congrats on everything! You are doing very well.
That's pretty much what I had decided as well. I orchastrated the requirements of his interacting with me again in such a way that he can't until he really does change, regardless of whether or not he goes through the motions.
I suppose what I really wanted was a reassurance that I am on the right path, which you and DL have given me, so thank you :)

Move on. You have plenty to move on with :)

I just wish he'd leave me alone until after he grows up a little.

Did you ever consider he may be jealous of you?

It's possible. Hm. I'm going to have to mull that over a bit.
