Relatives

My Miss 13 has been telling me, in a calm voice that my brother made her feel very unwanted – & hurt by clearly stating several times to my parents that he wished they weren’t there when she & my son stayed the weekend.

Is this a “no answer” how would you recommend responding to it? We have a new family holiday coming up and my Miss 13 feels strongly that she doesn’t want to talk to this uncle. She has asked me to address it.
Would you use the “correction script” with the consequence being that my daughter is choosing not to talk to you till you apologise appropriately?

Wondering how to handle openly and fairly- with a view to restoring relationships & realising he may not have sensed the impact of his words and also that he may scoff at it anyway.

Thanks!
