Q: I have a 46-year-old sister involved in a lesbian relationship. She told our family she was a lesbian 13 years ago and we have supported her through five “committed” relationships that have since failed. She is now involved with a new woman whom we have not met. Because she lives a great distance away, we don’t see each other but once a year and, yes, we have a close and honest relationship. I would like to visit her but don’t believe I should expose my (6-year-old) son to her lifestyle at this stage in his life. How do you feel about this and how would you try to explain this delicate decision to her? — S.P., Evergreen, Colo.
