Dear Abby: I'm a mom and a teacher, and one of my daughter's peers wants to date me
Briefly

A 50-year-old single mom is contemplating a casual relationship with a 21-year-old man, who was once her student.

In another scenario, a grieving mother struggles with social interactions after the loss of her son, finding it difficult to manage conversations that lead to her own emotional distress.
Secrets, much like the one you're considering, tend to emerge eventually, possibly leading to unnecessary embarrassment for both you and your daughter. Consider your choices carefully before committing to a scenario that could complicate your lives.
