[quote=Anonymous]Obviously, your mom's safety is the first priority but don't be surprised if she ends up supporting him financially.

I personally know a few well off women (2 widows in particular, if that is important) who in their 50s/60s, ended up with loser men who drained them of money.
One actually paid 10s of thousands in legal fees to defend him in an elder fraud case. He went to jail for a while and then SHE MARRIED HIM. Don't ask.
Another allowed the guy to move in, thinking that he would be renting out his place for extra money. His place has been foreclosed and now she is feeling responsible since he has "nowhere else to go". He is 65 years old.

Both smart, educated, professional, well-traveled women with normal, successful families (adult children, grandchildren,etc).

I have no explanation other than both men are younger than the women and are overly attentive to the women. Dote on them, don't let them out of sight. Needless to say, lots of friction between the men and the families' of the women. Which only makes the women defend the men more.

As I write this, I see how dysfunctional these situations are.

Not sure how to help your mom see things clearly but she should probably find someone else.
