For what it's worth, you aren't the only one who had that reaction, and I don't have the history you've mentioned to trigger anything for me. In fact, I've dated a few barely-legal boys myself in the past (and felt skeevy for it, and broke it off because I didn't feel like raising my boyfriend/having a rent boy/playing daddy). But when she talked about giving him dating advice...I don't know, something between the lines made me feel like there was something more going on there. Like maybe she was training him in what constituted a "good" relationship if he was going to date someone like her, even while inadvertently sabotaging his attempts with other girls/women. I wouldn't say it was deliberate grooming, but considering her complete lack of self-awareness, I don't think it would be amiss to suspect some unconscious nudging.
