see him today, maybe is trigger

[Leosha]

He is here, he not supposed to be here. I am not suppose to have to deal of seeing him until Oct 3. But he is here, he has student at this same competition. It is supposed to be other boy here, but he is here as coach of substitute skater. I do not know that it is coincidence, he know that my coach's skater will be here, and that I am with him. I have not met this other boy, he seems to be nice enough child. I do not know he is coach of him. Then as we are starting to leave, someone grab my arm from behind me, I turn around and is him twisting my arm at me, and I hit at him and push him away of me until he let go. And then I get away of him and start to be sick again, make me feel sick he touch me at all. I have been thinking so much of when I would see him, how I would react, what I would say if anything, how I would show no fear, and I react like some scared animal running away of the lion.

Worse of it is Andrei, student I am working with, he is there and see this, and it scare him, he look scared and sad of it. I do not want him think that I will ever do something bad at him or hurt at him. I tell him that M and I do not like each other, and that he scared me, I apologized at him. But I worry that this boy is now afraid of me. And I still do not know what history he may have with this old coach, if he have any.

Not sure now what to do of this, we are here for three more days at competition, I know he will be trying to get at me again. And other of Andrei, who is child still, I have no one else here with me. There is security persons, but I do not know what I can say. I can not think anymore, too tired and scared now.

Leosha,

You can tell Security that he grabbed your arm. Tell them that you want to be safe from him. If he knows that they are watching, he may leave you alone.

No one has a right to touch you if you do not want it. Your student knows that. The Security people know that. Even M knows that.

I do not think that Andrei will be scared of you. He may be scared of M. When Andrei saw M grab you, that might scare him. It would scare me.

Do not be scared. Tell Security that M must leave you alone.
