Today is my sister's birthday, but unfortunately I will not be seeing her. I still love her dearly but she has a history of poor decisions, and is married to an A-1 scumbag. This guy is a criminal, a sex offender, not someone I want around my kids or in my house. Unfortunately my sister kept this fact from anyone in the family just long enough to marry the guy, and then someone outside the family tipped us off to this guy's past.
I was very hurt because I also found out that my sister knew about this guy's past and had not told us about it. She had brought him into my house and I feel so betrayed. After this all blew up I stopped talking to my sister. Like I said, she had a history of bad decisions, and this was the final straw.
But today is her birthday and I really do miss my sister. I still have fond memories of her. It has been over 5 years now. But I just can't accept her choice of mate. She had made it clear she's going to "stand by her man" but I refuse to put my kids at risk around this guy. I am leery about starting up a relationship with my sister because I still feel betrayed about how she handled this.
Any advice?
