People, especially older ones, cannot easily change delusional feeling or ideas that they have maintained throughout their lifetimes. I certainly hope the 58 y/o guy in the wheelchair can forgive his partner’s mother for her behaviour. She deserves some compassion for a lifetime wasted. True change will only happen as they die off and are replaced by their children who are growing up in much better informed times. As a kid I remember there was a time when Peeping Tom neighbors could call the cops and have their married hetero neighbors arrested for sodomy.
