Guilt about sexual attraction

Question - (16 March 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 8 April 2009)
A age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Dear Friends, I'm in a very bad state of guilt, 10 years ago when I was 13 years I had a sexual attraction towards my mom and I ended up acting on it like smelling panties, peeping at her and once tried to grope her when I was sleeping next to her in the bed... But I soon realised the next day that what I'm doing is wrong and shifted mysef to another room immediately and ever since I respected my mom and had no bad thoughts as such, but the thing here is that now after 10 years I'm feeling damn guilty about it. I just get demoralised day by day...

It comes up and hurts me like hell. I can't bear this any more, it's having a very bad impact on my life, I'm unable to do anything as the scenes just come in my mind and remind me of what all I've done, whatever I'm doing to convince myself ends up fruitless.

I thought over and over and I think I'll be able to get some relief only by confessing to my mom and when she forgives me. I'm sure she will since it happened when I was out of my senses during 13-14 years.

Unless my mother has forgiven me for these things, I won't be able to get peace of mind. I want to go ahead and confess to my mom. Please help me... Please help me... I'm shattered...

Yeah, wonderingcat is right love. I studied this condition in Psychology at Uni. Oedipus Complex is a condition introduced by Sigmund Freud. It explains that with males, there is an intense attraction to the mother and a strained relationship with the father. Whats your relationship like with your father, may i ask? the best thing for you to do is to get professional help. It is not fair to you, feeling guilty, all these years later. You cannot live your life like that? I wish you luck.xx

wonderingcat agony auntYour condition is called "Oedipus Complex". This forum or site is not the appropriate place for you to get answers for your condition. You need to have a proper evaluation and therapy from qualified and trained professional. They can do the psycho-analysis and work with you on a personal level.

If you wanted to raise your awareness and educate yourself on this condition, just google it and you will find all kinds of articles and sites that you can access to read up on the issue.

Good luck!

Cat
