But, you should also explain to her the fact that he has also changed over time and is has made attempts (and been successful) to getting on the right track. Maybe that will help change her perspective of who he is a person. Also, (just a suggestion) if you want your mom to be able to trust that he has changed and is a good person, when you hang out, try to hang out in a setting (like your home) where your mom can see for herself the change in who he was then to who he is now. The key here is to be honest with your mom. If she is worried, it's only because she wants to protect you. Just be honest with her and hope that she can change her mind about him, even if it takes some time. Hope i was able to help! xxo Hannah [ xosimplyxamazingox's advice column | Ask xosimplyxamazingox A Question ]
