You helped me tell my family I was dating an older woman

DEAR DEIDRE: Although my partner and I were madly in love, we kept our relationship a secret because of our 15-year age gap.

We were both worried our families would disapprove.

I’m 24 and she’s 39.

When we started talking about having a baby together, we knew we’d have to come out.

We felt it wouldn’t be right to keep our child from its grandparents.
You reassured me that we were doing nothing wrong, and advised me to confide in the person in my family I trusted the most.
