Can we be selfish?
Post Body

For the uninformed, my son and I had been in a relationship for a year and a half before I had a moment of panic and asked him to end things as I worried I was abusing of his love for me as his mother, and keeping him from meeting someone else.

We’ve been apart for nearly two weeks now, and he messaged me last night. He sent me two texts:

“I miss you.”

“She’s not you. I want you.”

He’s just started seeing a beautiful young barista who I’m sure he would be more than happy to start a life with but…I want him.

He’s my son and he’s my lover and he’s the one who brought up the idea of kids. I feel like I’m being selfish by wanting him back.

Am I?

Sometimes it's not selfishness. It's a less adulterated recognition of importance. If you two are both in favour of being together, be willing to accept that that choice has possibly already been made by you two awhile ago, and the best thing to do is to just pursue it.
