Beautiful words
by: Anonymous

I'm a mother too... I have one son and can identify with the words you posted. I'm not needy and have no unusual feelings of romantic love towards my son. And I don't think you (the poster) do either! Your words focused on the relationship between a mother and son. It doesn't mean one can't have a husband. Your words simply described what's special about the mother-son relationship. I know not every mom feels this way. It's sad because they're truly missing out. I feel blessed in having the same closeness with my son that you described. It's a beautiful, special relationship that my son craves too. For those who want to criticize, it's called Attachment Parenting (google it) and is a wonderful thing. It's not co-dependent or strange. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The mother-son relationship changes with time, and a mother knows this. To distance yourself from your son during his younger years in anticipation of this would be cold and inhumane. I take my cues from my son. As he grows older he tells me how much affection and attention he wants. If it's too much he pushes me away with words like "Mom!" followed by a smile he can't help. My son is 8 and recently stopped letting me show him affection in public. I think he's adorable and laugh when he does this - but I also respect his wishes. Yes he'll get older and start to find young women interesting. That doesn't mean he doesn't need my love and guidance. I'm gentle and won't push it on him. The relationship between a mother and son is different than romantic love. Even when he falls in love he's still going to need his mom. It's not delusional to be aware of this - it's just common sense. Kids get more independent as they get older. So they don't need you as often, but they do still need you. I plan on being there when he needs me and being patient during the times when he doesn't. I have my own husband who definitely needs my attention too. So the other comment about "focus on your husband if you have one" is nice advice (though it seemed worded a bit mean). The poster of this poem/sentiment may not have mentioned her husband but that's because the poem/notes were not about her whole life. The topic was meant to focus on the mother-son relationship... to celebrate that beautiful relationship!
