Ok. Wait. What does “my husband’s ex DIL mean” who divorced “our son”? That just doesn’t make sense.

She’s 18 so I wouldn’t make an appt for her or anything but I would encourage her that she speak to her doctor / gynecologist about her sex drive to see if there is a hormonal factor at work. I also do think COVID lockdown can play a role for sure. I have 3 teen boys and none are where they were headed socially pre-COVID. It’s impacted a generation in a way we won’t be able to fully assess for decades.

+1. Accept and love your child, of course, but this is in no way biologically normal for a teenager.

Better asexual than unplanned pregnancy, at that age.

Maybe it’s the birth control pills? When I finally came off them after many years, I was really shocked at how strongly my libido is tied to ovulation. I really regret taking them and will never do any other form of hormonal contraception.

It means ex daughter in law. The daughter in law used to be married to their son. She’s not now, that’s why she is an ex. What is confusing? Perhaps the son is the biological child of the father, but a stepson to the mother?

I think a lot of kids feel pressure to label themselves in high school- nature will run it's course. My DD labeled herself in H.S. and then went off to college and identifies differently.
