Serious question.
My dad was in prison when I met him after 15+ years of not knowing he was alive. This is me at 18 visiting. Well, he got out last summer and has really been trying to have a relationship with me and my growing family. He is doing all the things he should be to stay out of trouble that I know of but of course I'm scared...
I have two kids to think about and most of all, I don't want them to not know their grandpa if I have nothing to worry about.. What would you do?
He's even asked to babysit my oldest son but I've said I wasn't ready for that. I seriously don't know if I'll ever be.
Making bad decisions that cost your family once, you'd think he would have learned his lesson serving so much time behind bars? He claims that he lives his life for us now. And I just want everything to work out so badly!

@mommysbabies, That's a good idea. If I'm ever feeling like he may be back pedaling, I will remind him that my kids come first. I just know my mom told him that he'd never see me again when they split up when I was 3. So I can imagine he doesn't want to go through something like that again

Just start with letting him come around in an environment that feels safe for you and your kids and just tell him one mistake and you can't do it you have your kids to think about first and foremost

@mazeyy09, thanks mama! This is great advice. I am still getting to know him and it's just built in me to love and trust him though. I feel like I might be like getting my hopes up? He does really well with my kiddos and my boyfriend spends time with him alone even!

Take baby steps! Don't rush into the babysitting. But you can introduce your children to him and see how they take to each other. Invite him over to different things. You still have to get to know him also. It will take some time.
