It seems logical that there's a lot more behind the story. I think what I would do is to sound the guy out and see if he's interested in meeting with your friend. If not, then walk away. If he is, then tell him you're going to need more details in order to be able to sell Sarah on the match.

and he wants to meet Sarah...but I keep getting this wonky jewish answer about well ya know she was mentally ill and it was just better for them all around for him to drop the whole situation and try to start over...I just don't understand how you drop your child.

Ugh. Frankly, I do not see how it could possibly be better all around to leave an infant with a mentally ill parent. Heck, some of my dad's clients (he practices family law) are people who've gone to hell and back to try and get custody precisely because their exes were mentally ill and reveling in the crazy rather than seeking treatment. What a weird situation.

In any event ... have you asked your friend whether she's interested yet? If she is, you definitely ought to get more details from this guy.

At this point she will go out once with anyone...and I told my husband not to say anything about this until she is interested to go on a second date...if after the first time she doesn't want to see him again than she doesn't need to know...but what more info can I get? And the mom doesn't have the kid either the kid is living with her grandparents.

Sounds logical ... and at least the kid is not with the mom.
