I don't know where to turn! Last night upon my return from social gathering my son approached me and confessed he has had a very strong sexual compulsion to have sex with me-his mother. My son is 20, and has social phobias as well. I want to find counceling for him but he says he will not go if I find a source. (We are on a very limited budget and have no insurance).

5 years ago my husband, his father, died. I have felt that my son's social development was arrested at that time. He is a handsome boy that girls are interested in, yet he is so terrified of connecting socially with people in general that he has never dated or had a long-term girlfriend. He will not get out in the world and wants to hide here at home. I will never turn my back on my boy, but I feel like I am enabling him by allowing him to hide from the world. He has not acted on his impulses but I fear for his happiness. I am shocked and confused.

I have tried to find information on this strange behavior (urges for mother sexually) but haven't had much luck yet. ANy advice would be appreciated.
