Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ugh. I've been NC for over a year now following an episode where nada called my daughter " hideous " and told my kids that they looked like orphans, and the subsequent insults, attacks, and denials when I told her not to do that. Well, my husband (an attorney) got an e- mail today from an attorney from another firm who is a long-time family friend of nada/dad (actually a classmate of my sister). I'll just copy the e-mail here: " Hi [hubby] - thanks for the chance to visit a few minutes ago. I don't know, and don't need to know, the background on the issues, but I know you and [writermanque] are really good people, and I've know [Dad] and [nada] forever and they are really good people, and they would love to be able to see you, [writermanque] and the kids again if possible. I don't claim to be any good at things like this, but I care, and would like to help in any way possible to hopefully open some lines of communication. Thanks for listening. " I realize that he hasn't been formally " retained " on their behalf, at least it doesn't appear to be the case. I do think, however, that their choice of this particular intermediary who happens to be a lawyer is a veiled threat. This is the type of thing they do, but when you call them on it they say " Oh, we just chose him because he and [hubby] are colleagues... " I feel sick to my stomach right now. The emotional part of me wants to send him a three-page reply detailing all of the BS that nada has pulled. The rational part of me knows that I should just politely say it's none of his business. The mother bear part of me is FREAKING OUT as I keep having this irrational fear that they're going to come after my kids, and since I'm far from a perfect mom and they have such a friggin' hypocritical but pristine public perception that they might prevail--not in getting custody, but in getting limited visitation, and I'll be forced to WATCH my kids get manipulated and see my fiendish nada get her way, no matter what my wishes are.
