A:  I have a 19 year old daughter who already did not live with me anymore.   Since I told her about this, we've probably talked more frequently than we did before and she has voiced her support from the beginning.  Now, if there is something beneath the surface and she's having a hard time being supportive or coping with it, I can't say as I've not seen any real clues about it.

I also have a 16 year old son who does live primarily at my house.  His initial concern was whether we'd still do the same things together.  For him, as long as he knew things between us weren't changing, he's been fine with it.  He sees me frequently in a variety of looks and is at the point where he probably doesn't think much about it.  Again, if there is something unsaid, I can't tell.

Neither of them have issues with any of their friends to my knowledge, although my son's friends don't know.  He does not attend Public school anymore, so it's not likely to ever be an issue for him to deal with his peers.  The friends he has, are mostly kids I coached in soccer and I know their parents, and don't anticipate any problems there.  He doesn't see them that much, so it's not been a priority to inform them.
