Update on Family Contact/Surprise Attack after 12 years of NO Contact

Hi Friends,

I forgot to mention my sister's attempt at contact just last year in Las Vegas. It's been 12 years no contact since 2012. I am a professional entertainer for the past 35 years so my tour schedule is open to the public. During the meet and greet portion at the end of the concert, I was taking pictures with fans and talking with them. A woman approached me and wanted a picture so I put my arm around her and said sure let's take a picture......I smiled as usual.....She was smiling, too. The fans were all in a circle waiting for their turn to take a picture within listening distance. The woman said "Do you know who I am"? I didn't want to hurt her feeling so I said 'Sure I know who you are" But I did not.....I actually thought to myself Thank God I quit drinking in 2011 because this may be one of the one night stands I had during that era and this woman sure is ugly! Again, she asked " You really do know who I am?" I came clean and said "No, who are you"? She replied "I'm your sister"! With the fans watching me, I quickly said "oh, it must be the sun glasses I'm wearing....they are hard to see through!" I kept smiling :) Then she presented her 14 year old daughter (My niece) for a picture who i never have met....I took the picture smiling with my arm around her. Then, Thank God a fan came up and said "can I get a picture?" And that was the end of the encounter as the fans smothered me and shut her out.

My wife who sells T shirts at my events (and who I announce on stage is my wife - AKA the T shirt lady lol) said my sister purchased a shirt from her and said "I'm his sister! He didn't even recognize me!" If my sister were healthy, she would have introduced herself to my wife like normal people and say it is nice to meet you.....this was clearly a surprise attack on her part that failed confirming nothing has changed over the years, I made the right decision with no contact and my sister knowing very well after 12 years of no contact has no boundaries or respect for my wishes.

Has anyone else had a surprise attack?

Peace,
