I’m slowly losing my son to another woman

I have 2 sons, and another on the way.

And I love it.

And I REBUKE those who tell me that my boys will just move on and forget about me someday. I do not think this will happen.

However, they WILL replace me.

And I WANT them to.

I love my boys, and I will do everything in my power to sustain a loving and caring relationship with them.

But I will not be the love of their life forever.

I WANT them to want to be around their wife more than me someday.

I want them to give me up as their first love and replace me with their wife someday.

I love being my sons best friend, but I also know that someday they will grow out of that, and that will be the best and healthiest thing that could happen for them.

I love my boys… but they are not my husband. Just as I grew up and naturally grew apart from my parents and then one day fell in love with my husband… so I want the same for my kids.

As moms, we have a very special relationship and place in our children’s hearts. As mothers, we have a special bond with our sons.

But that special place is NOT mean to last forever.

It is meant to be replaced. Replaced with the love of their life, their wife.

As mothers… we do not come first.

And if my son ever thought that somehow I came first, or was more important than his wife, than I failed him.
