My father has lately been talking to me about this woman he knows, and has known for about a year. Before they were friends, they met through my fathers aquatance whom was her boyfriend at the time.
The aquantance has since been incarcerated and decided to rat on his girlfriend for a crime committed twenty years ago. Under the punishment of the crime and her not abiding she is now also incarcerated. Soon to face two years in state penitentiary.
The couple is no longer together. Before the sentencing my father and her had spent quite some time together and got to know eachother better. Now that she is locked up waiting for transfer they have been writing back and fourth and dad has been there for visitation.
They seem to really care about eachother and she especially has taken a liking to him. He has let me read a couple letters to see what I think. I told him she seems head over heals which is odd due to the time they have actually spent together... But that is just my opinion.
Now he is worried about her transfer and not being able to visit due to having a felony (we are unsure of the laws on that) And tells me they are thinking of marriage. While she is in prison. I love my father deeply and want him to be happy and it would make me very happy to see him finally take a wife, someone to take care of him and love him.
I am assuming though that i need not express my reservations of the situation at hand and though I want my father to be happy I am stumped on how to approach the situation. He keeps wanting to talk about it and honestly all I can keep saying is "People change in prison" I feel like there would be another way to express my concerns of this and hopefully make him see waiting would be a better idea.
Any advice on this situation would be appreciated. Thank you.
