Hi Sandy and DJ EWREK. I am a 42 year old mom, I became a mother at a young age, my oldest son is 24 now. Ok, so he has a best friend the same age as him. I have known him quite some time, and over time we have developed feelings for each other. I’ve been single for 8 years, but recently my sons best friend and I started hanging out. At first we decided that we had to deny our feelings because we felt it would hurt my son. Recently we started seeing each other in secret and it has been a really wonderful time, but I have this feelings of guilt over me because that’s my son’s best friend. We would like to be open about our relationship but I am so scared it will cause a bad rift in my relationship with my son. We are very close but I don’t think he or my other children see me as anything other than a mom and it would be difficult for them to accept me being with anyone let alone someone who is so young. I am falling in love with this guy and I know he feels the same way. I guess I’m just looking for any advice from others who have been here. Is it wrong for me to love someone who is best friends with my son? Is it wrong of us to be together? If I would have to pick between my son or my lover it would always be my child, but will he hate me or accept us as a happy couple? I don’t want to give up my lover only to find later that my son would have been fine with it. Please be honest???
