A Blast From the Past.....Not So Good

Ok, I'm writing this post today strictly to vent. I need to vent, so if you don't want to hear this then you need to get out now. I don't understand why people want to disrupt other people's lives. I am speaking specifically about my ex-husband. I haven't discussed him a whole lot because he is a part of my past that I left behind many years ago. He was a very sick man. An alcoholic who only cared about the people around him when he had something to gain from it. Then he took off. He just disappeared into thin air without telling anyone.....and deeply hurting my boys. For twelve or more years he has not attempted any form of contact, and now.......why now? He and his wife have even sent a friend request to MY Myspace page wanting me to add them on like we have been friends forever. I don't harbor any ill will toward them, but I certainly don't want to be their friend either. I haven't said anything to my husband, who was good enough to pick up Mitch's responsibilities and adopt the boys after we were married. He has loved them and raised them as his own for the last 12 years. I am afraid this will hurt him, and I don't want that to happen. I am, however, trying to keep an open mind about it, thinking this may be good for them, especially Brian. Brian was hurt the worst when Mitch left and I have always said that his anger issues stem from the treatment he received from Mitch. Maybe if they make contact Brian can finally find some peace in his life. I think he will look at Mitch and see himself..... Robbie doesn't even remember him, so for him, it's like meeting a new person for the first time. I just wish I understood the reason for all of this. I suppose he's feeling his age and maybe even facing his own mortality, which is making him think of things he's done wrong and people he's hurt over the years. I hope the boys don't get their feelings hurt once again.
