Joining the Army

Things had been super quiet from Joe since I had told him that he needed to leave me alone. About a month after my wedding he sent me a text. At first I didn't want to respond but decided I needed to see what he wanted. He said that he needed me to sign a paper so that he could join the army. At first I was skeptical of it all but after contacting my lawyer he said I was fine to write up a paper saying that we did have a child out of wedlock, and if anything was to happen to him while in the army that I could not claim any benefits for me or Nixxon. My lawyer said it should come back to bite me in any way. I singed it and left it for him to pick up from my parents mailbox. 
After he picked it up he sent me a text saying that he needed her birth certificate also. I was not comfortable giving that out. So I told him I wasn't sure if it was at my parents or at my house since I was still working on moving, which was true. So he didn't ask for it again. He said he was shipping out in September for training. Well its almost a year later and from what I have heard he never ended up leaving. 
One day I was on instagram and noticed I had a message from my sister in law. I never get messages on Instagram so I checked it out. Well it said I also had a message request from Joe's sister. it said " Hey Michaela I just wanted to message you and see how you and your family are doing. I have been thinking about you a lot lately and I hope you and Landon and your cute little family are doing well. I dont mean to bother you or anything." I was super caught off guard by it. I appreciate that she does still think of us but that is not a door I am ready to open. I feel like it would add too much complication and drama to my life to start a relationship with her right now. We never have really talked and letting any of them into my life is not something I really plan on until Nixxon is a lot older then it would be much more of a possibility. I know it wasn't exactly her choice but she made choices too while Nixxon was young that made me loose A LOT of respect for her just by how she talked about me and my family. I do not exactly blame her for being on her brothers side but the things she said were not necessary. 
I never ended up responding simply because I am not ready for that communication yet. I probably won't be for a while.
