My partner's children visit their newly married mother and I wonder how intimidating, misunderstanding, accepting, influential this is in their future life and own partners. She has now married another woman. The boys 10 and 11 see her kissing, caressing, hugging, sleeping in the same bed as her new 'wife'. Can they become confused about themselves, she has had gay men also stay over on the couch. Should she curb her behaviour. She has explained that it is quite acceptable to have someone of the same sex as a partner. How confused can the children become? They are too young to fully understand the implications of eg sex. Can they be easily led into a life where they choose gay men, especially if encouraged by their mother. They told me that one of them would choose a girlfriend and the other said he was not bothered. Can you comment on the situation please. They only visit their mother for a couple of weeks per year. Their father has residency. Can children be easily influenced at an early age?
