I won't like it at all I no people will say get over it your mother need to have a life, But he was in prison so what crime did he committe.I would be total against it. He should stay in the halfway house nad then get his own place.

Do you live in that house too. I think your mom is being irresponsible. It sounds like your mom is gonna need you now more than ever. If you live in that house I would get out but keep in close contact with your mom. How r u supposed to feel about it. There is no right way to feel that just something that comes but your Dad, well any dad would be upset. I'm sure he wants your mom to be happy but the kinda guy that shes bringing into your lives and the house, no one would be happy about that.

Oh heck no, I don't live there. havnen't lived at home since i was 15 with her anyways, I just hope that after 8 years adjusting to society, that her safety is okay, you know... And how can a MAN live in a house that another MAN built.. and had a relationship with your girlfriend,you know.. and raised children in.. Just don't seem right.
And I am scared for her health. How do you know what he has been doing, being locked up? Right? ewww.

well, if he is abusive and your mother is not capeable of taking care of herself i'd be pissed and worried. but if he isn t abusive then no worries and if she can take care of herself then its her decision. shes an adult and can make her own decisions. I hate my step dad but i have to deal wtih it and just be happy my moms happy. sucks i knwo.

Well obviously there is not much you can do about it since your mom seems to be commited to him, i would say just try to make the best of it, and if you can't get along with him then stay away. And when she asks why, tell her.

wow. I imagine this must be very hard for you. I would probably get a queesy (sp?) stomach everytime I looked at him. However, there is really nothing you can do. Your mom is an adult and making her own choices. You can only watch from the outside and if you ever get the feeling that your mom is in any immediate danger...step in. Above all else, continue to let her know that you love her, even if you don't agree with her choice. (I would gently tell her that you don't agree, but that you will be polite out of her respect. Then, I would do just that, be polite...out of respect for her! Best of luck.
