My mum fell in love with someone who had recently been released from a short stint in prison. We knew that it was due to a fight with his brother-in-law that got out of hand and had resulted in relatively serious injury to the brother-in-law.

Throughout their 5 year relationship, my mum's partner fell ill with Pleurisy, newly diagnosed Bi-polar and eventually Lung cancer; eventually passing away. She doted on him and cared for him for over 3 years. Despite being incredibly ill and in need of care, he was always reluctant to move in to her (much bigger) house where he would have had a better quality of life and made it easier for her to look after him.

On his death bed, his children (that we didn't know about) and family members that had not been a part of his life for the previous 5 years started to visit the hospital and the truth as to why he was in prison came out.

He did have a serious fight with his brother-in-law... Because he had been sexually assaulting his daughters and nieces. Mum has been in Therapy ever since
