Melissa Etheridge claims to have 4 children. How many "moms" do the kids have?

Question

Melissa Etheridge, who has never born a child, calls herself "mama" to 4 children. Two kids to her ex-partner, which David Crosby is the biological father of, and twins with another partner. Melissa writes of being sexually molested by her own sister for a period of over 5 years. So I count 3 mommys but no daddys. Do you think these kids will end up normal with themselves or have indentification problems with who they are?

Answer 1

I think they will be just fine.

Answer 2

Yes, these children will probably grow up being "normal" and will know exactly who they are!  They will be well educated, well loved, taught to respect others, to be better than those who judge and to teach the ignorant.  It doesn't matter how many mommies or daddies you have as long as you are loved and taught to be a good person, they will grow up just fine and will most likely know exactly who they are BEFORE those children who have a mommy and a daddy.

Answer 3

Many adopted children are successfully raised by women who have "never born a child."  Many children are successfully raised by single mothers, through divorce or abandonment.

Positive male role models can be uncles, friends, neighbors.  Many g*y people come from so-called "normal" families with a mommy and a daddy.

These children may have the same identity questions that adopted, foster, dovorce and orphaned children have.  My impression of Melissa Etheridge is that she is aware of these issues and will be a sensitive parent who encourages her children to do what they need to do to be whole.

Answer 4

Far fewer identification problems than you suffer from, I am sure.

Answer 5

Yup, I think they will have a pretty normal life.  Two parents (pet set of children), lots of love, sounds pretty good to me!

What does her having been molested have anything to do with it?  Are you trying to imply that because of this molestation she is g*y?  Or that she is going to do it to her own children?
