My mother passed away very recently. Yesterday, I received an email from Lynn Hoffmann, the man who broke up my parents marriage some 37 years ago and ended my very happy childhood. My life, after being ripped away from my loving and attentive father and supportive, loving extended family and community of Palatka, was filled with emotional neglect and physical abuse. Lynn Hoffmann was the catalyst to this pain and the bitterness I felt towards my mother, for 37 years, that I thought I had successfully buried with her a few months ago. Now, he wants pictures of his life's love. He wants to explain how he was the victim. He has things to say about about my wonderful, kind father. He wants to see me.

If you know him, please discourage him from ever contacting me again. The pain he wrought into my life has been unbearable as has my mother's death that I am trying to mourn in a healthy manner.

Please tell him to leave me and my sister alone.

Thank you.
