Yes I don't bring it up unless he does. I don't think it's a problem and he's doing so well in his career and friends! But he hasn't accepted it and feels he was given a bad lot in life. ...

You gotta do what brings you peace of mind. Being around a friend who makes you feel like shit isn’t a real friend at all. If he’s truly sorry he’ll show it, but until then, keep your distance....
