Here is a poem that I wrote about my mom.

Mammas don't raise up your sons to be substitute spouses.
Just because your marriage's a mess or you are divorced.

Mammas, don’t raise up, your sons, to be substitute spouses.
Calling mommy’s little man, oh the man of the house.
In the name of love, trapping him like a mouse.
Lacking, the ability to relate with an adult spouse.

Mammas, don’t raise up, your sons to be substitute spouses.
Manipulating them, by a bunch, of hocus pocus.
So bringing happiness ,to mamma becomes, their exclusive focus.
Making ‘em feel, like they really are, the man of the house.

Mammas, don’t tell your sons, that forever, they're your little man
Particularly when, you marry again.
For will he think, that he is still, the man of the house.
Actually, mamma, he’s your captive, young mouse.

Mammas, don’t raise up your sons, to be substitute spouses.
Stay just mommy instead of the monster of the house.
And dam it, get an adult, if you need a new spouse.

Mammas don’t raise up your sons up to be substitute spouses
At the expense, of their innocence,
Dear Christ, does not make one dam bit of sense.
Excuses mammas make, but not a good defense.
Being sexualized, for the rest of his freaking existence.
Is a burdensome, painful dam life long sentence.

Mammas don’t raise your up your sons to be substitute spouses.
Walking in their rooms in shear nighties with no bra on.
Knowing dam well, they’re sons are getting a hard on.
Reaching under the covers to help them relax.
While they massage you both front and back.

Mammas don’t teach whole courses in sex ed.
By inviting them to sleep with you in your bed.
wearing no more than panties when you lay down your head.
Knowing new ideas will fly in their pubescent heads.
Unless you want them to go on some trips.
from between your warm breasts, to between your hot hips.

Mammas, don’t raise up your sons, up to be substitute spouses
Doing all, to make mommy’s little man
Really believe, he is mommy’s man.
Wow, that means, he's the real man of the house.
Oh God, don’t enslave them like a dam play toy.
owned by mamma, as her young playboy.

Mammas, don’t raise up your sons, with sexualized identities.
making a normal marriage, for many, an impossibility.
All that dam unhealthy sex might turn them against women completely.

Mammas, they might never marry because of you no doubt.
Something you will never hear your neighbors talk to you about.

Mammas don’t raise up your sons, to meet your twisted needs.
For such sick mamas should be swinging high from the trees

Saying it like it is. Very passionate and emotional.

@Scat Thanks! I felt a lot of emotional release after writing it. I was not sure how people would respond to it.

I did eventually get married at an older age than most men.

My wife was a victim of emotional incest from her mother. Her mother told her all about her and her husband’s sex life plus leaned heavily upon her emotionally plus did not want her to have or own identity or get married.

I'm not an incest survivor, so I apologize for infringing on this turf. But I was sxually abused. And I was physically and emotionally abused by my mother. I'm a poet also and think this can be a very therapeutic way of releasing one's emotions. I hope you continue to write. Very well done.

Published author, by the way, since 1979 so I do know of what I speak.

Lots of emotions and pain there. Just keep getting it out on paper, friend. So sorry for your pain but glad you're facing it head on. That's what a real man does. He faces the truth and the truth shall set you free.

@Scat Thanks for your validation because not everyone believes that this kind of thing between a mother and her son actually takes place, but it does.

I wish there were other places that I could share my poems for they might help others.

My husband was sxually abused by his older sister-in-law when he was 15. I truly wondered if it impacts him sxually cause I sure ain't getting any as much as I'd like. : (

@Scat That is a difficult issue for him to work out, but I would recomend starting therapy to begin discuss his sexual issues and lack of sex for you. Maybe you could try role playing or toys something of that nature to see where he goes with it
