Probably the saddest, most pathetic thing I've ever experienced.

I have an 8 year old nephew (by my sister). I've been there with him through every birthday, Christmas, house move etc although I gues I've only been in his company say, twice, three or four times a year on average, due to our being geo distant. There is no father figure for him as he's...well, lets just say bad, and my nephew has had no contact with him - ever.
My nephew always delights in my company, increasingly as the years rolled by. I of course have unconditional love for him (I've only got one nephew to boot).
During this latest visit over the last week (5 days), where the travesty occurred, he even said "you're like my dad, because we're properly related, not like X (my sister's boyfriend)."
I had to cut the visit short because of my sister and boyfriend's increasing and EXTREME condescending put downs directed at me. Why were they treating me this way? Because, BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION NO LESS, they both felt "jealous" of how much my nephew was enjoying my company. Pathetic or what....
Because of this it now seems to me that my relations with my sister/her boyfriend have utterly and irrevocably terminated, which has the knock on effect that I will have no more contact with my nephew.
What utter, utter folly.
