I was walking back to my car and his brother was coming down the road. After the initial panic I just carried on walking and didn’t acknowledge that I’d saw him. He made a sarcastic comment when we passed each other when he realised I wasnt going to stop and talk.
It shook me a bit just because it’s the first time I’ve seen a member of his family so it was the shock more than anything else. I was also worried he would try to make a scene or get annoyed at me.
I didn’t want to stop because what on earth would I say? I didn’t want to be interrogated as to why i left and why i refuse to talk to my ex. I was also worried if I said I left because my ex was abusing me it would aggravate the situation and my ex would either keep trying to contact me or get revenge.
