Is it normal to be attracted to your mother?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
It can happen to have confusing or unwanted feelings of attraction toward a parent, and having the feeling doesn’t make you bad. It’s important to keep clear boundaries and not act on it.
Feelings and thoughts can show up without you choosing them, and they don’t automatically mean you want a relationship or intend to do anything. Attraction to a parent is less commonly talked about, so it can feel especially unsettling—but you’re not bad for having a feeling.
The parent-child relationship needs clear boundaries, so don’t pursue it or put pressure on your mother. If the feelings are upsetting, persistent, or affecting your relationship, talking them through with a therapist can help you sort them out without judgment.
