I'm so tired of the shady nonsense that goes on in Levi's side of the family. As I wrote before, Levis' mom emailed and asked to see Adrian, then Levi's sister, Erica, also called and asked. We spoke and everything seemed fine.

I still had that nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach, but decided that it was just because of all of the drama that has transpired between us in the past few years.

Then I got another phone call from Erica. She sounded stressed out and out of breath, and asked if I could talk for a second. I said "sure." She reiterated again that she wanted to see Adrian — that her mother really wants to see Adrian — but that they were worried about the way that Levi would react.

She told me that they cannot control what Levi does, or in this case does not do, and that they decided that it is best that Levi not be told that they are taking an interest in Adrian.

Translation: Don't tell Levi that we are talking to you or your son.

I suppose that I really don't care. I mean, I believe that Adrian is really, at this point, my son and who he visits with is none of Levi's business. However, I'm not interested in anymore of their drama. And, knowing them, Levi will find out and inevitably somehow I will end up the bad guy.

So, I'm back to being torn again. Do I just play along and allow Adrian to develop a relationship with his aunt and grandmother behind his father's back? Or do I tell them to work out their issues with Levi — be upfront and honest — and then we'll talk?

What do you think?
