Hello,
I need some advice from the brain trust.

I have an older uncle in his 80's.
He has lived a good life, and was happily married for well over 50 years.
Several years ago, his wife suddenly died, leaving him alone, in an "about Schmidt" type scenario.
They never had kids. He earned the money. She had the brains,managed it, and took care of the big picture.
Her sudden passing left a huge void.

Ironically, his health was worse than hers. She was the caretaker, yet, suddenly, she was gone.

Enter a whole host of loneliness and housekeepers.
Each was hired, and was driven off with his healthy dose of crotchety old fart (he would fit in well to PPOT-if not for his C-car affliction-Z06 to be exact).

So a vacuum was created, and with all vacuums, something moved in. Someone half his age and willing to fill that vacuum.

Gold digger would be un understatement. She has over 30 hits on her criminal record including "abuse" and "threats" as repeated charges. She has several aliases and cannot keep a residence for more than a year or two. She has bankrupted herself, and other suiters in her grip. She was arrested as of last week for drunk and disorderly.
Last week, they announced they were going to get married. For obvious reasons I am concerned, if for no other reason than that she cannot seem to take care of herself, let alone an aging man almost twice her age. He will end up supporting her (he already is) and she will drain him as she has others in the past.
He is a grown man, and is not listening to reason. His fear of lonelyness clouds his judgment as makes him mush. She is manipulative, and is closing in on him.
I do not think they are married yet, but, as a family, we have extinguished our efforts on preventing the situation. Perhaps this is a situation that cannot be avoided. Perhaps you really cannot save some people from themselves, however, it hurts to see a loved one go down such an obvious dangerous path.
I am well aware that there may be no avoiding this. It is his life,his decision, his actions, however, I cannot stand by with out at least trying to do something. That includes (in addition to contacting lawyers, police, friends, family, and his neighbors) reaching out to a group of of strangers on this website who always seem to have really good feedback.

Advice please!
Thanks
Ron
