[quote=Anonymous]I’m not even kidding. Two years ago my mom started seeing someone in a year into the relationship he proposed. He’s been a generally nice guy my kids love him and of course I googled him at the start of the relationship just to make sure he wasn’t a murderer or something crazy! Ha.

When I initially googled nothing had come up and I did a pretty extensive search. However this summer we were all together chitchatting about how much information you can find about people online. So I said to my mom and her boyfriend yes he look I’ll show you. Well that was the end of it. Up comes an article about my mom‘s boyfriend with the headline “murderer”.

We were visiting them and at the time I had no idea if my mom was aware of this or not. I try not to panic at the moment collect as much information that night as I could and asked my mom calmly in the morning if she was aware of any past that he had.

She said yes she was aware. Since my kids were there and it was one of the last days of our trip I didn’t want to discuss it and told her we could address it later. She hasn’t called me to discuss it she’s just sent me texts upon text defending her position, her boyfriend, herself.

My husband thinks I’m being selfish for not going to the wedding and not allowing our children to go to the wedding. But this guy was in jail for 15 years got out on a technicality and said the whole time it was self-defense but knowing this is something she hid from us, and it really makes me question her judgment.

I realize I don’t have to like her choice in a partner but really the bigger issue for me is her not being able to share that with us in advance. I guess I’m not really looking for advice this is more of a vent. I don’t really feel like I need to be the one to budge here but my husband feels pretty strongly that we shouldn’t miss out on this major life event for my mom. [/quote]
