Right. So let's isolate the 12-year-old in response to difficulties caused by the mother and her boyfriends.

So it's not the mothers fault. Probably the fault of a former husband boyfriend. Got it.

More enabling.

High school boys will pick on someone just because of their shoes , and all depending on how well they can deflect it. You obviously let him to deal with it.



Cougars and 20 something is not really atypical, but its an unstable equilibrium. The status is equal because yours is on the decline and his is on the incline starting from about zero . All depends on his slope. HVAC guy and balds in his 30s might keep it stable. Who knows?


The reason why its less common is what could pass it on? Its not like children watch their 25 year old father with their 37 year old mother because there are few too none. So there is little cultural and biological support.

However, now I am 37 and dating a 26 year old guy since past 8 months, people judge me and think i am a cougar.

I feel bad for the double standards in the society.

The other day some High school bullies from my son's school bullied my son by **** shaming me. My 12 year old son was scarred and I was shocked when he told me what all he had heard from the High school kids.


I feel no one has the right to point out whom I date or am sexually active with as long as I am not breaking the law.

None of their business. That's not a great age difference. How do people know?

Long ago I was seeing a woman 14 years older. I didn't know or care, in that age range it's not easy to tell age. She was 53, I was 39. Her age came up in casual conversation, started by her. No biggie. Finding someone who's compatible, that is the main point.

Arbitrary markers--age of the players--are meaningless except to meaningless people.
