They would only understand if they're pragmatically educated about sex and the responsibilities that come with it. Unfortunately, that's what's lacking the most. Sorry but just saying "keep your knees shut" is not the answer.

Doesn't matter. It's not what they want to do with their lives. Many many children of deaf parents have talked about the stress of interpreting for their parents. Can't be easy on a kid when your parents and the doctor or whomever get impatient with you because you didn't sign fast or well...

You just reminded me of two books I bought at a living village in Arkansas, titled "Mountain Mama" and "No Lace for Cricket". True stories of a single mother living in the Ozarks at the turn of the century. Those books perfectly illustrated the hardships of women like your mother. I have to...

Ok, good luck.

So, what's your alternative?

So, are you telling me you cannot speak, lipread nor use sign language? That you cannot use pen and paper, emails, texting? That you cannot draw a picture? That you have no language at all? No way to express yourself whatsoever?

You are perfectly capable of expressing anything you want. Anything at all. If you get a chance, read this book "The Unheard: A Memoir of Deafness and Africa" by Josh Swiller who is profoundly deaf. He grew up oral and mainstreamed but while in some obscure town in the middle of Nowhere...
