Introduction

Hi everyone,
I'm Olivia, 60 years old, 156cm tall and 53kg from Europe. Still working, single mom who loves to ski and playing squash. After a nasty divorce (my ex-husband always got really angry and responded with violence) I decided to leave him and my son immediately wantedto stay with me. We moved away when I got a good job offer and my son always wanted to be close to me from the beginning. Now we are in a relationship for almost 23 years. As I found out, this is not as rare as you might think at first.

Hi, Olivia,

Welcome to Kindred Spirits, and congratulations on your long relationship with your son. I've upgraded your membership, so you have full access to the members-only forums.

I'm curious about how you found out that mom-son couples are not all that rare?

Ten years ago or so the topic was brought up in public television. In response, they were looking for people related to each other and being in a relationship with each other to express their feelings. The response was overwhelming and a lot of people wanted to share their experience (anonymously of course). Because so many people claimed to be in such a relationship, the story never got aired. Just a small note in a newspaper.

Really! Did you happen to save the note from the paper? It would be great for us to have it.

Welcome aboard! Please feel free to start new discussions and add to existing discussions.

I should have said that too, Olivia. You’re among people who understand here, and this is as safe a space as people like FullMarriageEquality and I and the other mods and admins can make it. I also have feelings for my mom, and since they’ll never be requited, I serve here instead. Please feel free to talk to us in the members-only forums.

Also, I’m sorry to hear that your ex-husband was violent to you. I know the scars that can leave. If you want to talk about that too, we’re here to listen and help if we can.

Best,
UN
