His mother cannot even bear to look at this stranger who has taken away her pride and joy, and senses that the mother/son bond might be unraveling before her very eyes. Her moon and her stars decide it’s time to move in with his girlfriend and leave behind all that is familiar. One day the son brings home a girlfriend for his mother to approve, but whether she does approve or not is irrelevant. Therefore it comes as rather a shock when the boy becomes a young man starts staying out late and begins to forge a life of his own in which the mother suddenly finds to her chagrin that she has very little input. This mother/son bond is formed sometimes while the fetus is still in the womb, and as time passes and the boy blossoms and grows, that bond is strengthened further still. Of course, there are exceptions, but I’m going to write on a general level here, and assume a strong mother/son bond. Sons (and daughters too, but I am writing here of the mother/son relationship) are our moon and our stars. We as mothers spend years nurturing our children and trying to do our very best to give them a good childhood to remember, perhaps even better than the ones we had ourselves. Let’s give her the floor.ĭisclosure: As an Amazon affiliate, I receive a commission on any purchases made through the links in this post at no extra cost to you.
