Tim, Rick,
I am trying to make sense of this whole thing. If
anyone can help figure this out, I would surely
appreciate it.
I know that this is an immensely difficult situation
but I have not been able to get Dad/my father to
listen to me. He just keep talking in vague
generalities and repeating things other people have
alleged.
If you could find it in your heart to help me out and
talk with Dad to see if there is anything in
particular I have done, I would surely appreciate
hearing it.
I will send a copy of the restraining order under a
separate cover.
Love,
John
