[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did DH do that resulted in legal trouble and getting fired from a school job?

Sorry, but this sounds like sexual abuse of a much younger cousin.

If that's not the story, explain. Because if you told me this exactly as you posted here, my kids would never be in the same room as your DH.[/quote]

+1 this clearly isn’t about DH running over the young cousin’s bike and filing a civil suit. [/quote]

+2.

And how dare you say “random cousin”? This is an existing family and YOU are the “random” married-in.[/quote]

I used ‘random cousin’ because ‘step cousin’ isn’t really a thing. This is DH’s stepfather’s nephew, so there is no blood relation.

It is also to note that this cousin is not someone who there really is an existing relationship with, or who would generally be expected to be at a family gathering. Some cousins are closer then siblings, while others are distant. We hadn’t seen this cousin since 2006, my kids never met him, and honestly I’m very surprised he even showed up as in the past (as recent as a few years ago) this cousin has specifically and purposefully lied in order to get out of visiting with our family (bringing up his accusations in the past, which is silly as in that case even his younger sister visited us). The point is we aren’t close and have never been close. [/quote]
