James will still find some way to blame you, Melody.  It's his main 
source of entertainment.  I hope you do not get involved with "The Clan" 
as they are not good people.  Another person who used to be on the list 
had some involvement with them.  She said that are very scary and both 
have criminal backgrounds including time in prison.   You can tell from 
reading their posts that they are mean-spirited.  

This reply is NOT going to the list.  I know you will respect the 
confidentiality of the information I gave you about them.
