I don’t want to spoil any happiness that comes into her life, but I have a bad feeling about this.

I’m sad to say that my mother has been lonely for far too long. Her relationship with my father was unsatisfying, and they separated years before his untimely death 18 years ago. Since then, she has neither dated nor maintained any close friendships. My brother lives nearby and sees her a few times a month with his toddler son.

Well, today she mentioned to me that while she was in rehab, she started a romantic relationship with one of her nurses, who is 42 years old and married. She is so excited about her connection with this young man, who is roughly the age of my brother and my husband. Worse, I’m really worried that he is trying to scam her, although I’m not exactly sure what for, since she has no money except for the long-term care insurance that is going to her housing. When it runs out, my family will pay for her, so I’m not concerned about getting anything from her will or anything; I just don’t want to see her manipulated.She seemed to come around to the idea that she might be hurting this man’s family, but I think she’s too swept off her feet to do anything about it.
