I'd just leave it be. Does your father still try to contact any of you? Cant you tell the police that your father is "unregistered" as a sex offender?
I'm not in fear of him, not for myself...but I do fear for my nephew. He hasn't tried to contact my sister - but a few years ago he started using my address and phone number and as a result I was getting harassed by collection agents and one very scary bookie or something. I changed my number (three times) and tried to ask the post office if there was something that could be done...they said no...but the mail and such stopped...or I moved enough to where he's lost track...

And yeah - my mom had to "get in contact" with him recently (though she claims it was all ok since it was done through a lawyer) and I asked her, since she had his info if she could call the Phoenix PD and report him...I forgot to follow up to see if she did...

There's obviously nothing you or your sister can do to make your mom understand why you two don't want your dad to know where you live. I would almost not let mom know your where-abouts. I know that's hard, but if it's what you have to do to stay safe..... Good luck with it, Deanna. I'll be thinking of you.
Thanks. My sister is pretty much competely ready to cut ties completely with my mom. She even confided in me that she's started to feel feelings of hatred toward her..which really isn't a good thing...

I start to feel bad then I realize she's made her bed and is now lying in it as far as she and my sister are concerned....

I was trying to stay out of the middle...funny how I end up there more often than I'd like...though I just felt like I couldn't sit on the information this time around.....

What a mess- and let me tell ya I've never looked forward to spending holidays alone until this year
