So I just heard from a mom that the OW daughter was being introduced at baseball as s's step sister. (Yet h is still gay and they are all roommates)

I told her she was not actually his step sister as his father and I have only been officially separated for a month and that the "labeling " was confusing to s and upsetting to ss.

Was that wrong? Am I just feeding the drama?

I think blending families and naming relationships would be hard enough. But when you throw in the mix the fact that the world at large is being told a different story than the kids. ..

Ss 20 has an intellectual disability. He is able to express on a very simple level his confusion and upset (he says things like "don't get me started that girl is not my sister") My s is not able to vocalize as well his concerns. I know how both my ss feel about situation but I have no idea how s feels or what he understands or how he is processing. ... and that really worries me.

Now here comes the part where I am still an insecure woman I am dreading going to S baseball game on Saturday. It is h weekend so they will all be there. I don't know how I am supposed to react around them.
