I really love my relationship with my son. I'm glad he still has his life and romances. I'm glad I haven't stopped is growth emotionally and sexually. I love being useful and an outlet for him to explore things but he shouldn't grow into me. He should become his own person and he is.

I just worry that I show him so much love and affection, unconditional love and affection that is, that it just won't compare in the real world. My relationship with my husband is great but rare. I had toxic relationships. I've been used. I've been heartbroken. It was almost like finding my husband when I did was a gift for going through all that. I only want my son to experience positive things but I just worry that the regular woman he interacts with isn't going to be so kind. Which is fine. Nobody has to be anything to everyone. I just don't want him to think all relationships will feel like this. Our relationship is like this BECAUSE I am his mom. I loved him before any of this.

I don't want him to feel like no other woman will compare to me or he won't find this kind of affection anywhere else.
