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.

Thank you everyone for your feedback!

I miss and love you all.

Hey Antonia, the 12 year age difference is still shorter than the age difference between Miss N and my oldest. That said, she is very mature for her age (yes I get it that probably everyone in this positions says that) but at the same time...I like to consider myself a "young" 40 year old. Oh...and you owe me a response re: New Years. smile

TAMF, you alway crack me up. FTR, you know I will get you back for that comment smile.

PEI, bring it girl...bring it!

Senor Mach - Did you finish reading yet?

Cadet - I hear ya buddy.

Cat - NO I have learned much much more. Hell I still have some of the bruises to show for it. smile

Merry Christmas to all of you.

I heard they are renaming a few things in your honor:

Eric Island - for the eastern seaboard end of New York State.

The Eric Jump- for that track and field event where a guy wins for going the farthest.

Then there is the Ericthon.

The beginning of Star Wars now reads:

An Eric time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Ericshanks- the evil king in Braveheart.

"Take the Eric Way Home" hit song by Supertramp.

Henry Wordsworth Ericfellow- famous American poet.


Mach can ya help me out?

You take the first 30 chapters and I'll take the last 30 chapters.

We can give eachother the Cliff notes.

E glad to see you're doing well...

At least the part I read so far.

And to top it off.....PEI just posted an update....
