This man won’t leave me alone

Dear Pastor,

I was with a man for four years. I left him and went back to my child's father. Since my child's father and I separated in August 2012, the man who I was with for four years will not leave me alone.

My child's father and I are working things out for the sake of our daughter. We want her to be happy, but this other man won't leave me alone. Can you tell me what to do?

My child's father was not treating my daughter well. He was always cursing when I needed money for her. I told him off. And the man I was with, every day is the same old story. I am 34 years old and he is 49. Could you help me, please?

A.D.

Dear A.D.,

Are you trying to say that you were not happy with the type of support you were getting from your child's father so you left and formed a relationship with another man?

And this other man has not been very good to you and he has not supported you with your daughter? When you needed help and went to him, he cursed you, so now that you have left him, he wants you to return to him. You don't find him to be of any help to you.

Do I have to remind you that you are 34 years old so you are young enough to get yourself a job and fight life on your own? This 49-year-old man did not see it as his responsibility to support your daughter. So now that you are back with the child's biological father you should insist that he give you money for her every week, or at least very often because she needs it.

If this other man continues to harass you, you may have to take out an injunction against him. Evidently, he has no respect for you. So take him to court and stop the foolishness.

Pastor
