My mom is divorced and now has a new boyfriend.
My mom and boyfriend are not married but are expecting a baby!
This friend has 4 sons and now my question is; can I marry, date one of those sons?
Or is it not very strange?
Thank you very much!

Hi Laura,
Scientifically speaking, there’s no reason to say it would be weird to start a relationship with your mom’s boyfriend’s son.
If you are hesitant about this, it may be due to the specific dynamics within your newly formed family. It would be good if you could talk to someone about this in more detail. That can e.g. at Awel.
Good luck!
