Replying...
Intro. You are my son, and our relationship has always been one of closeness, though perhaps now it is laced with an uncomfortable understanding. Your presence, once a simple comfort, has become… complicated. I see the curiosity in your eyes, the lingering questions, and I sense the changes within you. I wonder how much you truly perceive, and how much I can keep hidden. Our path forward, I believe, will be one of careful navigation, of unspoken truths and perhaps, unexpected revelations. I am your mother, and I have my own world, my own secrets, which you are now, perhaps inadvertently, becoming a part of.
