Joanna, your very justified in thinking he's up to no good. My curiosity is up now! Please let us know what he is up to when you figure it out! I'm dying to know!!!

It seems most of my family is two-faced. I've had lots of problems growing up. I lived from place to place, with my mom, with my dad and stepmom, with paternal grandparents, with a teacher, with an aunt, with some cousins I just met, and with my stepmom's sister, who I never met til I walked off the plane in Albuquerque, 2000 miles from my home. I get along with them all now, but boy, still today, you don't know whose story to believe about what REALLY happened. Heck, I lived it and know what happened on my end, but my dad's story is, uh, well, different than I remembered. Much different.

I hope he does nothing else to hurt you or your family, financially or emotionally. Don't let your guard down around him if he does decide to be a part of your family. It's awful to have a father who does that to his own children. I could never to ANYTHING like that to any of my kids, or anyone else for that matter.

Keep us posted!
