[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son gets to decide this[/quote]

My son gets to decide without my input? I paid for the college. Are you saying I ought to bite my tongue if my son mentions inviting his father or voice my issue? My son is a pushover and his father will take advantage. Because his father wants to play pretend with his wife, who has zero idea what a POS he is.[/quote]

Damn, yes. You should not insert your issues in his relationship. Let your son get burned himself. [/quote]

OP, I get that this is crap, but at the same time, your son is going to respect - soon or sometime in the future - that you did not step in the way of him figuring out this relationship. My HS/college BFF was devastated to learn that her relationship with her mother felt fairly hollow after her dad died. They had been divorced 20 years when he died - the dad was a famous artist who took up his wife's cousin while married - and was clearly a louche. She slowly realized that her relationship with her mom had some toxic underpinnings based on the dad's misconduct. Then he was dead. Really sucked for her.[/quote]
Huh? Sounds like her dad’s a schmuck. Unclear what the mom did but why stay around to watch your ex romance your cousin. [/quote]
