I'm not going to lie. TAMF said exactly what hit me when I was in the middle of walmart tonight thinking about this.

I just wrote a chapter for my book on a fictional character who goes through watching his dad have a sexual relationship (he doesn't watch his dad have sex but he knows what's going on) with a woman who is closer to his age than his dad's age, in the book, the son actually is attracted to the woman and gets all confused because his dad is the one with her.

I mean, just try to watch out for that, I guess. Any of the students I've taught who have had a parent (either sex) who had a rel. with someone closer to their age than their parents' age did NOT handle it well and brought it up all the time as a real issue for them.

I don't know HOW to handle it, but seek advice, perhaps, from those who have been in a similar situation who did handle this well with their kids and the kids are ok with it.
