re: Widowed Mother Dating Again

My dad died 3 years ago on Sunday. Coincidentally his birthday is (was?) Saturday. He had ALZ for the last 12 + years of his life and encouraged my mom to find someone else before he died - rough ending.

She had a few relationships and was incredibly naive. She had not been with any other man since the age of 18 (she is now 65) so I can't really blame her. She wanted to find what she had with my dad again so much she just saw the best in people. 1 in particular was a total scumbag and she didn't believe me when I told her until he literally went Schitzo on her.

My advice would be to Google the hell out of the dude and make sure he's not a psychopath. Sounds pretty harsh but I learned the hard way. I wish she would find someone and hoping when she meets the right person it will make me happy to know she's happy. In the meantime, I am every potential suitors worst nightmare. :-)
