My younger sister is a single mum of 2 young boys, one of which is severely autistic. Both their dads are useless. Our parents have both passed away. She has been financially abused in the past by her ex (not either of the boys dads) and I would say she is vulnerable - she struggles with her mental health and is quite alone in the world really.
I help as much as I can but I have young kids myself and work full time, and I live around 45 mins away. She will also go through periods where she doesn’t respond to anyone and shuts us all out.
She has met a new man in the last month who is separated and has children. On paper he seems great - good job, own home, sees his kids 2/3 nights a week. I just can’t shake the feeling something is off. Things like - He told her how much he earns almost straight away and wanted to buy her an engraved necklace after a few weeks. He has given her a key to his home. She said he treats her like a princess. She hasn’t met his kids but he’s already said he wants to marry her and has been saving himself for a love like theirs?
Honestly - I would love her to meet someone nice, so why can’t I be happy for her with this guy? it just all seems too much. But when I see it written down I feel silly 😂
Also - just in case anyone thinks it - I’m absolutely not jealous - I’m in a happy and stable relationship.
