I already knew whatever I would find—from invitations, interviews, reporters showing up out of nowhere, and calling me a liar. Harassment would be a belittling word for the way the bulletins were treating me. I was labeled a snake, a liar, and one bulletin even called me a husband snatcher. They were all terrible, but it still didn't change the fact that their words had brought me hurt. "Sorry about Adrian. I should have known that man was a problem," Uncle Bernard said, breaking into my thoughts. "Let's just wait until the whole thing calms down. Maybe we can approach him then." I thought calling Uncle Bernard would have made things easier for me. But clearly, that too was a bad decision.
