So I’ve been sexually attracted to my mother for a few years now but I was 14 and not very close to her so I knew it was a bad idea and just decided to go nowhere with it. But now I’m 18 and these feelings are getting stronger especially since we’ve gotten so so close these last few years. We’ve been through just about everything together at this point. My mother and father have been separated since I was 5. Her first marriage was 3 years ago with my now stepfather but the relationship has turned really sour and he is now finally moved out after a verbally abusive relationship with my mother. So now that he’s out of the house it’s been peaceful and my mother and I have been closer than ever. So I’ve been wanting more often to tell her how I feel about her but backing out every time. It’s hard for me to tell if she has similar feelings because just like me I’m sure she’d feel awkward having sexual feeling towards her son. So I would like help confessing and telling her these feeling of sexual attraction. My example of what I’d like to tell her is this.

“Hey mom I wanted to tell you that I have sexual feelings for you…I know you probably never wanted to hear something like that from me, but I thought I should tell you because I love you so very much and think you’re so beautiful that I didn’t want to hold on to these feelings.”
