If you found out your ex was dating and living with a person who has prior Felonies for Drug Possesion, ID Theft, and and other misdemeanors such as Shoplifting, Mail Theft, Credit Card Fraud, Brawling and others..
Knowing that, would you inform your minor children (1 preteen, and 1 under 10) in order to protect them, or will you be looked at as trying to pit your child against your ex in a change of custody case?
The EX may or may not be aware of this persons criminal history and communcation with the ex is almost non-existent. My kids have descriped drug 'accessories' like bongs, joint rolling machines etc in the house that this person brought into the Apt. I feel like I'm in a potentially explosive situation here. i feel as though I must protect my children and inform them, since there 'parent' recently tried to drink herself to death (documented, police report) in front of them. CPS is a total joke and can do/has done nothing unless there is a body on the floor, bottle in hand etc. I just want to know what you all would do - to tell or NOT to tell...that is the question.
