In this video, I interview my 10 year old son on his feelings and experience of going through divorce and me coming out as a lesbian. He knows I now work with other women going through this and has been begging me to do a video with him! I hope this helps you on your own journeys! #latelesbian #lgbtq #lgbt

The boy is wise beyond his years :). Please also send a message to Michelle: a lot of parents are stressed because of the kids, but the observation of the boy it breaks my heart. I don't have a solution, but maybe you can reflect about this, and maybe you can change something, even if it's going to be a small change.

A beautiful and heartfelt video. Your son is wise and articultate, self-confidant and so-well adjusted way beyond his years. He is a great credit to both you and your ex-husband, who made him who he is.

Aw thank you so much! I think he's a good kid and that we still do a good job together as his parents even though we're divorced but I'm biased because he's mine ☺️

You're welcome! And thank you! We just talk about everything and lots of validating his emotions and I think that's helped him so much 😊

I love the clear relief and emotion you showed when you heard your son, maybe for the first time, actually say he was never once mad at you for what happened. That's probably a worry of a lot parents who go through any divorce that's due to one of the parent's feelings changing, that just keeps building up in the back of their mind until they actually hear the truth directly from their child's mouth. Must be a huge weight off their shoulders.

I actually hadn't ever asked him before if he was ever mad at me so it was interesting to hear his response. I do know a lot of people worry about this so it was nice to hear his response 😊

Being a late life lesbian is a gift. Your son is probably the most beautiful thing that happened. Even if the love life changed. I am happy you can have these honest discussion with him.

You have an awesome son! Very interesting to hear his perspective of the divorce and getting accustomed to a new life. So beautiful to see how glad he is tht you are able to live a life which makes you happy and wouldn't want you to hide your truth just because of him.

Good parents makes good kids, no mather of the reason for the divorce is about. In each one of his answer their were nothing about the fact that you are now with a woman, if you had set up with an other man his answer would've been the same (IMO). Thank you and thank him for sharing .

I’m married and I have feelings for a woman now. I tried telling my husband how I feel because I have been texting this woman for 4 months now and I enjoy talking to her. My husband had a real problem with the fact that I said I want to meet her. He had a problem with ED so to keep from getting upset. I started chatting with a woman and I fell in love with her. Don’t know what to do now. What would my friends and family think of me.

Hey! You're definitely not alone in going through this. Do you have any support or anything to help you figure this out??

@lisaroach9900 24 күн бұрын

@TheLateLifeLesbian No I really don't because I haven't really told anyone how I feel about her yet.

@lisaroach9900 is there anything that you feel would be helpful for you at this time? A lot of women feel better when they have others to talk to who have gone through this
