A rumour of mother-son love
A few weeks ago, my mother (not the one involved in incestuous sex) told me about her mother's village. We're from somewhere in Europe (I won't tell more, for privacy), so you can picture the countryside with very late access to electricity and thick accent.
My maternal grandmother had a widowed friend who fell ill, and stayed for one or two years in her home. Honestly, it might have been depression, in regard of her having lost her husband. This woman had a teenage son, and you can already imagine how it went.
The story was first told to my mother by her own mother, long after it happened (my mom was a baby when it was unfolding). Some details might have been lost or exaggerated. What I've pieced together: the boy was 14 or under when his father died, and he took control over his mother. He was very nasty to everyone who visited, so people came less and less. In the privacy of their home, he was taking the husband's role: controlling her actions (we are still not a very feminist country), forcing her to give him money, allowing him to do whatever he wanted outside the house... and inside.
The boy was going into his mother's bedroom at night, and taking her against her will. Being a teenager, he was probably pounding her 2-3 times a night, without care. His mother must have felt very ashamed and disgusted, but I like to think it must have felt exciting too, after some time. I imagine her looking at the dark ceiling on her back, trying to ignore the boy on top of her grunting and moaning. Maybe he called her names? Maybe he was sweet at times, calling her "mom". Did he suck her nipples? Did he force her into different positions? Was she made to ride him?
Since I've learned about this I have not been able to stop thinking about it. The wrongness is very exciting. In the end, she became pregnant and she bad to abort. Luckily, my grandmother was an angel-maker (very dangerous, and very illegal). That's how she learned her secret.
I don't know if the son kept using his mother as a hole for his seed, but her illness was cured and she had a normal life. The son died a few years later, during a local conflict.
Incest was apparently not very shocking to people from this generation. Wrong, yes, unusual, no. How many other families had similar relationships under their roof, I wonder?
