Like TGS, I decided to talk to a therapist. Like TGS, I had to deal with physical behavior from my mom-not nearly to the level of jordan intercourse, but some gross attempts at French kissing, offers to shave my legs, walking in on me showering, etc. I'd never put much stock in it-it was only a few times, I'm an adult now, I don't have an interest in being a victim. But the real issue for jordan me wasn't the occasional crossing of the line physically. The real issue was the constant crossing of the line emotionally. Mom had a jordan crappy marriage, she was frequently depressed, she needed someone to confide in, she chose me. My having problems with romantic relationships today has something to do with being a de facto husband/boyfriend/partner at age 10 and on up, in a completely fucked-up dynamic. Today I deal with mixed signals and short circuits when I try to be a real husband/boyfriend/partner with some really great potential partners. I can't say this holds true for TGS-but he may need to understand the emotional environment that made the one physical event happen-and that could be why his therapist is pushing.
