She doesn&amp;apos;t want to see me get hurt again,&amp;quot; says Bristol, 19, who first broke the news&amp;#xA0;to Us Weekly that her ex Levi, 19 -- father of 18-month-old son Tripp -- popped the question about a month ago.\r\nSarah  has made no secret of her feelings toward Levi, 20, who infuriated her  last fall when he claimed that she had called her infant son Trig (who  has Down syndrome) &amp;quot;retarded.&amp;quot; She sniped back that anyone who would  pose for Playgirl would &amp;quot;say and do anything for even more attention.&amp;quot; Later, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she dubbed him &amp;quot;Ricky Hollywood&amp;quot; and called his &amp;quot;aspiring porn&amp;quot; career &amp;quot;heartbreaking.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Bristol and Levi&amp;apos;s relationship: A look backIndeed, tensions remained high after Us Weekly broke the story, when the Palins released a tense statement: &amp;quot;Bristol  believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle  to put in practice in our daily lives.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: On again!

But she&amp;apos;s just glad  he is getting on the right path. She knows how much Tripp means to me,  and she wants Tripp to have a father figure.&amp;quot;Since becoming  engaged to Johnston again (the two called off their first engagement  just two weeks after welcoming their son in December 2008), &amp;quot;What I&amp;apos;ve  done is starting to sink in, and every family member of mine has some  concerns -- and that is scaring me.
