I am in the process of getting divorced after a 31 year marriage. I'm very glad to be leaving it behind. My husband was very emotionally abusive and controlling and I've now found out (how did I not know!) that he had been playing around with women for years and years. He comes from a very disturbed background, in particular a violent and peculiar father. One of the things that happened to him as teenager was that his father used to take him to meet his girlfriends.
I know that my husband will try and do the same to my son - he may already have done so. My son is now 21. Do I warn/talk to him about this? I've never ever said anything about his father's weird background before. And in our breakup I've tried to keep facts to a minimum. But I'm worried about his father's corrupting influence.
Insights and advice from anyone out there would be helpful. It's doing my head in thinking about it. I hate the idea that my beautiful boy will turn into his dad.
