My BIL is in prison, has been for a long, long time. He committed an appalling crime and I want nothing to do with him. My husband gets it and has barely seen him in years. By all accounts he has really put the effort into rehabilitating himself, got educated etc. To me, that's the bare minimum and I don't want him encroaching on the nice life we have. My MIL has continued to visit him and it has destroyed her life and health. She has no-one now apart from my husband and me. Continue seeing him by all means, but you need to accept the consequences. And when he gets out that will not matter to him - he'll be off trying to start living his life again.
