When we got together her kid was ten. He's in his early twenties now. The only question he ever asked her was "How come you always do what Will says?" The slavegirl's answer was "Because that's the way WE like to live". Near as I can tell, he observed that she was happy and subject never came up again.

I'm sure he knows something of what goes on, all kids do, no matter how careful you think you're being. Beyond the usual, we don't make a great effort to hide. I mean, we don't have all-out scenes in front of him but if he went into the closet he'll run across riding crops and such. I don't think kids care as long as their home life is stable and relatively free of tension and anger.
