SKID's BF...Parolee

frustratedstepdad's picture

So my youngest SKID's boyfriend is on parole for getting into a bar fight a few years ago. He was affiliated with a gang at the time, so that's why he was in jail for a few months. He is now currently on parole. As part of his parole, he's supposed to find a job, but of course he hasn't even been looking for one.

Now by all accounts he seems to be a good guy, so I'm not throwing him under the bus here. He actually is the one that is currently raising our grandson, since SD23 really just isn't a responsible person. I will admit he actually does a good job of taking care of our grandson. So earlier this week he went to visit his parole officer and he got locked up because he no longer lives at the address he gave the police. They went by the address they had on file and they were informed he no longer lives there.

So my wife in all her wisdom told them they could use our address until he gets off parole in a few months. This bothers me for a few reasons.

1. He is NOT our responsibility. He is a grown ass man and he should figure out his
own mess. It's nothing personal against him at all.

2. I don't like being put in a position where I might have to lie to police on his behalf since he does NOT live with us.

3. I really don't want my address associated with any type of police record at all. I'm one of the few African-Americans in my neighborhood and I really don't want police cars randomly dropping by my house, especially because of his former gang affiliation.

Just what the hell was my wife thinking!?!?!? Am I overreacting?

OMG! Your wife!!!! She'll never stop will she??? Did you guys ever take custody of SD23 son? Is SD23 still a stripper? Please tell me SHE isn't living with you???

Yep my stepdaughter is still stripping but she is not living with us. We didn't have to take custody since she is with the boyfriend and he takes good care of our grandson. She "works" and he takes care of the kid. Truth be told, I'd let the boyfriend come live with us before I would EVER let the SKID move back in.

Then in all honesty that is what you need to do. Let the BF and gandbaby come stay with you. Otherwise he needs a new address.

They are living with a friend right now, so I don't know why they don't just give the friend's address.

On 2nd thought, their friend probably has the same reservations that I do about having his address used. Just a few months ago the Gang Unit of the police showed up at his previous address looking for him because he didn't make one of his parole meetings. That is NOT the kind of attention I want at my house.

Excellent point. I told her this as well. I am no longer going to feel like I'm just paying to live in my own house. From now on when a decision affects the both of us, it needs to be discussed between the both of us before a decision is made. This includes giving any money to my stepdaughters.

Nope this is a different boyfriend. The boyfriend that killed her child is still in prison, and will be locked up for another 13 years.

Please tell your wife to reconsider. I was on probation after I got my DUI (sober now) and even for just probation, they check EVERYTHING. You guys could get arrested for what they call here "false utterance ". :O

Yep. Even though we have nothing to hide, I just don't want cops dropping by whenever they feel like it.
