SUBJECT:

FATHER APPEARS AFTER 7 YEARS

I AM THE MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN. MY TWO ELDEST BOYS ARE FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE AND MY CURRENT HUSBAND ADOPTED THEM WHEN THEY WERE 5&3 YO. WE ARE A HAPPY FAMILY TOGETHER AND THE BOYS KNOW THE FACTS. HOWEVER, WHEN MY OLDEST ENTERED 6TH GR 3 YRS AGO MY X SHOWED UP AT HIS BASKETBALL GAME. I WAS IRATE AND QUESTIONED HIM AS TO WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE (IN SO MANY WORDS) I NEVER KNEW I STILL HAD SO MUCH HATRED FOR HIM. HE EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD JUST MOVED TO THE NEIGHBORING TOWN AND HIS NEPHEW (BY MARRIAGE OF HIS WIFE) WAS IN THE SAME CLASS AS MY SON! MY HUSBAND WAS NOT AS UPSET AS ME AND SAID LET'S JUST WAIT IT OUT AND SEE IF THEY CAUSE PROBLEMS. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OPTIONS AS I DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE OR FEEL FORCED TO MOVE. WE RAN INTO EACHOTHER A FEW TIMES AT FIRST AND THEN I DIDN'T SEE HIM FOR A COUPLE YEARS. LAST WEEK HOWEVER I RAN INTO THEM AT A FOOTBALL GAME AND WHEN I MENTIONED SOMETHING TO MY SON HE SAID YEA, THEY'VE BEEN SAYING STUFF TO HIM EVERY GAME. STUFF LIKE "YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY" AND "WE MISS YOU" AND "WE WANT TO SEE YOU" HE SAYS IT MAKES HIM UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT MAKES ME FURIOUS. MY HUSBAND HOWEVER REMAINS CALM AND TOLD MY SON TO JUST TELL THEM TO LEAVE HIM ALONE. I WANT TO GET AN ORDER OF PROTECTION OR SOMETHING - I DON'T KNOW - I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M BEING ATTACKED. ANY THOUGHTS
