My son harbors feelings for me and I don't know what to do.

Adult Children 18+ Years

My son (18M) is inlove with me his mom (44F). Since my son was a baby he's always been clingy with me. He wouldn't eat without me unless it was school, he'd spend all his time in my room as a child and even sleep here .

Being a single mom I gave my son all the love in the world, I don't mind emptying my bank account for him, he's a very smart boy, always leading in class and making me feel so proud.

But recently I have started to notice a few tendencies, one he doesn't go out with his friends and spends his days following me around, kitchen, pool, work, everywhere.

He's also been extra clingy, touchy with me and it's starting to make me uncomfortable.

He used to have a pretty girlfriend whom I really liked but today he told me he broke up with her because he can't focus on her as he's inlove with someone else.

I notice him checking me out everytime I walk downstairs with my night gowns or going to the pool in our backyard in a bikini. I don't know what to do, I've even changed the way I wear because of how he stares. I just want to be comfortable in my house.

I talked to him about it and he broke down in the dining room about how he loves me, he's scared that I don't feel the same way and more scared that he actually feels like that for his mom.

He cried saying he knows he's messed up and doesn't know what to do, he says it just snapped in him one-day and he started feeling differently. I'm thinking of taking him to therapy which I will but I wanted you know you guy's advice.

I'm so lost, we both are. I just need some help, I don't want my son having this emotional incest with me, I want him happy with a girlfriend,I don't know what to do.

Please help me, okay?
