Hello everyone!

Hello! During my late teens I experienced strong desires for my mother. Now in my mid-60s I am still trying to appreciate and savour properly the wonder of these feelings. Hoping people here can help.

Hi, Shygardener,

Welcome to Kindred Spirits. I’ve upgraded your account.

From personal experience, unrequited attractions to family members can be just as much of a cast-iron bitch as requited ones. But we’ll try to help you through it. Please tell us more about your situation in Your Story or Non-GSA.

Stay safe,
UN

Welcome aboard!

Hey Shy! I began an intense mom/son relationship with my mom , at 39. She was 57 and though I had not had feelings for my mother before, when we got together everything just clicked. And we are still a loving couple after 16 years. I think you are reliving a desire for an older woman that happens to be your own mother. Enjoy the lovely thoughts, and don't beat yourself up. If you have anything to feel bad about , it's only the missed connection-if it could have happened. Keep loving your mom!

I appreciate your warm words, Rick. Yes, these are lovely thoughts, to be explored and enjoyed. Finally, I have embarked on this adventure, and feel good. My best wishes to you and your mother.

Welcome aboard
