I am in desperate need of answers and have no idea where to start looking for them.  I am a single mother and I have fallen in love with a man who is a convicted sex offender. After hearing the details that he has offered up to me, I still feel my daughter is not in any danger of this man. 

In his case it was a re-enactment of something that had happened to him when he was a child under a babysitters care, that he had no memory of. In treatment they found that he had been hypnotized as a child to forget what had happened. In treatment they were working to make his family stay together, the offense happened to his adopted daughter. The therapists didn't see a chance of anything happening again because he now knew what had happened. There were other problems in the case that may or may not be needed for help in my situation. 

My problem lies in the fact that my mother is worried my daughter will be taken from me because of the man I am in love with, she has seeked advice from one attorney and his advice was for me to "get as far away from that bozo as possible." I find it disturbing that the attorney did not even want to know anything about the case. He practically called me a bad mother for being with the man and knowing is prior conviction. When the man I am in love with found out the information given to my mother and I, he was horrified and immediately asked me to stay away from him because he couldn't bare it if I lost my child because of him. 

He wants to be with me, we both considered each other to be our second chance at happiness in this world. He wants to make things work, but he is afraid of the way he has already been treated by this law system. He pays his price daily for his crimes, he is the hardest working man I have ever met, and now he feels like he has lost another family all over again. I am deeply hurt as is he, I need help and guidance to hopefully bring two people back together who deeply love each other.
