Advice

My 12yr old son has just told me that he thinks he might be bisexual. He said hes confused. How do I help him through this.

But I think the main thing is that he needs to know that you are there for him whilst he works it out.

My DSS13 came out as bisexual about a year ago to my DP. He never officially told me (DP did, although neither of us told DSS I knew), but he got a boyfriend and would leave his messages open showing that they were sending each other love hearts, and leave the phone right by me.

I have always been neutral when I have referred to people he might like (don't say anything specific about boyfriends or girlfriends).

I think DSS is happy in the knowledge that it doesn't matter at all to DP and I who he likes, and that no matter who he brings home with him in the future, he will have our support.

I'm sure someone else will come along with better advice than me, as I don't think my DSS felt confused. My best suggestion is that you talk to him about what he is confused about, make it clear that you are happy as long as he is happy.
