Bullies like the Palins count on intimidation and the cover of fear to get what they want. I hope you have a recording or message of being told "take your blog down or you'll never see Tripp again". Send it to Andrew Sullivan. That way they can't say, "we never said that she's nuts". When your Mom is able, I hope you two will consider leaving Alaska and starting over somewhere else.

There will most likely be an ugly end to it eventually. Levi is being very selfish and he will regret it in the end. Take comfort in the fact that you have the maturity to do the right thing. They are not used to people who stand tough in spite of their threats. Also know their psychological makeup means they are very resentful, angry, jealous, and thin skinned people, which means your defiance makes them miserable. When they send you nasty messages it says this about them, just smile or laugh when you read them.Celia Harrisonhttp://frozenjustice.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746859932156605615.post-49124876430219360482010-07-06T21:36:44.000-08:002010-07-06T21:36:44.000-08:00It's too bad about your most recent threat aga...It's too bad about your most recent threat against this blog, but Levi is obviously under some massive pressure right now.

I lost a brother also but gained a healthier and relationship of reciprocity with a male coworker. Don't let these people cheat you twice of your human needs to give and receive love, caring and acceptance.<br>Small things like buying a stranger a coat is to know you made a positive difference in another life although not your nephew's life as you expected.<br><br>IMO the grieving of a relationship terminated due to mailice is more heart breaking than an accident or disease taking a loved one from us.In time the pain will ease. Remember, it is the extreme terms threatened and the one threatening that shall bring loss and suffering to Tripp, you, your mom, your brother and others. Not your self preservation, not you at fault for a life of loss, grief, destroyed families impacting future generations.<br><br>Take heart the majority see the smoke and mirrors at play. The facade of the Palins are one big happy family as in everything they do comes with strings and a price to destroy others character, reputation and prey on people's fears.

Be proud of that. You've done nothing wrong. I haven't seen you speak badly of the Palin family despite how they have wronged you and your family, especially your brother. However, Bristol has dangled time with Tripp in front of Levi and of course, he's going to turn to his son. A real man would not be attracted to a woman like her, who had turned her back on him, lied about him, said outrageous things about him being a "deadbeat Dad", etc. when all he wanted was to spend time with his son. He has forgotten that for now but it won't last. Bristol is a miniature of $arah with the nasty attacks on you and your family. I read that note she put on Facebook from last week. Instead of posing for magazines and pretending she knows how to act on TV (that was a terrible debut, probably her last time on any show) she should get an education. Her post had a lot of incorrectly spelled words, not to mention her attitude of being better than everyone else. I LOL when she said "you have no title", neither does she. Bristol, since I know you'll be reading this, let me remind you that you are absolutely no better than Mercede or anyone else in Alaska. In fact, she can hold her head high as she has not lied about you in her blog but you attacked her! I also laughed at Levi's apology. He said some things that weren't completely true? What was that? How frequently she sent you all to the store for her? Maybe it was more than he said. No matter what it was, your family's actions indicate he was telling the truth. Bristol, you had your TV gig and Candies "abstinence" joke only because of your Mother. Why didn't you look at her and NOT follow her example? After all, she was pregnant before she got married, she should have reminded you about birth control. Leave Mercede alone. Is that how you control the men in your life? Threaten them to keep them from seeing their families? Such an insecure little girl you are to keep Tripp's father from seeing him and now that you've twisted him around and have him back in his son's life, you want to control his family, too?? Thankfully, Mercede is a lot more intelligent than you and has the backing of many more people than you ever will. Did you happen to catch your Mom's favorable ratings? They keep sinking month after month while the unfavorable keep rising. People around this country do not like her. <br><br>Mercede, hang in there and do not let this family of idiots get you down. Get your education. We know they are afraid of educated people because they can't compete with them in any way. You're a wonderful loving daughter and I know your Mother is proud of you.AKRNCnoreply@blogger.com
