Sorry to hear that and I'm kinda going thru something similar with a bunch of friends that ate at my table for decades. I cut them all the fuck off. What I learned, is that they couldn't go where I'm headed, so they thought they might be able to reign me in to staying stagnant. Not gonna happen, and they no longer serve a purpose in my space.

Good luck, you'll be fine and they'll come running back. Appreciated hearing your experience, thanks and much peace.
