[quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone.

My brother and I don't have children yet, and the only child that she has access to are her friends' kids.  So we are in the clear there.  My brother and my dad are of the mindset that this is "just a phase" and will work itself out, but I'm not really so positive.  My mother is insecure and doesn't know how to see the potential bad in people (there's like a whole therapy discussion about this) whereas I am quick to judge someone's past and current actions.

I know I can't make her "see the light" but I super wish I could.  PP with a brother in a dysfunctional relationship - I'm sorry :( one of my friends is dating a man who I think is manipulative and she just says its her problem and shes insecure, blah blah... since I can't make her see the light either, I suspect anything I say to my mother at this point is extremely futile.

I've essentially told her all discussions with her will be professionally based.  I know this is probably what this douchebag wants, but at the same time I have worked too long to get where I am today to be undone by a mistake my mother is making, you know?  Just the perception of being near a sex offender is enough to send me flying.  [/quote]
