    Just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to this site. I am looking for advice and support and hoping to find it here.

    I'm a divorced mom of 2 girls and am afraid of how my girls, mainly my youngest, who is very closed-minded when it comes to my sexuality (she is 12 and identifies as asexual), will react to the fact that I'm bisexual. My youngest has a hard time accepting the idea of my having a romantic/sexual relationship with a man, let alone a woman. I'm also worried that this realization might ruin my recently (in the last 5 years) mended relationship with my sister, who is not homophobic anymore but still gets weirded out sometimes.

    Any advice is welcome.

    First of all WELCOME to EC!!! I hope you will be able to find what you are looking for here, however all answers would still lie upon your decisions. Just take it one step at a time. They are your children and they look up to you, it's only natural for them to feel awkward, but given the time and effort you will put through explaining to them that this is also hard for you, then that would make them understand your situation.
