She had previously dated a man for seven years who had not introduced her to his son whom he raised during that time. His son had since gone off to college. A year after she met him his son’s mother moved into the home with he and his son, stating she had no place to go and no income. For the next six years of patient’s relationship, the son’s mother lived in the home with patient and he provided for her. However, he stated they were platonic.
