Anna's Journal - A Drunken Son Comforted
I did not know if you would want to hear more. I am ashamed, yet at the same time I am amused at your insistence on my writing you back. I always was able to trust you. You surely knew I was going to tell you more right?
You know where I was. I was on the couch, Cody's cum still on my pajamas. I stared at it, not knowing whether to be sick to my stomach at what happened, ashamed, or something else yet.
One thing I did know, I had a son in his room, shocked sober and suddenly feeling even more humiliation then ever. Any alcohol in my system was now gone, but in its place was a terrible uncertainty for what I was supposed to do next.
I wish I could tell you I sat there and thought it out, but I don't think there is a series of events that I could really have planned out at that point. So I got up, checked the couch for any cum that may have spilled on it, and when satisfied there was none, I headed to Cody's room.
Do not wonder at my intentions. At this moment, I had none besides finding a way to calm him down. My previous inaction had created a bad situation, and as I stepped quietly to his room I hoped I would come up with a plan once I had a chance to sit with him again. Funny that I trusted my mothering instincts. I know reading this you probably roll your eyes at that idea of mothering instincts considering I just watched my son masturbate and did nothing but let him finish. I shake my head too.
His door wasn't locked and I did not knock. What just happened had pushed that social norm away. He lay on his bed, face down in the pillow. He wasn't crying, he lay still and I sensed his shame. When I sat beside him I felt his whole body tense on the bed.
"Cody?" He ignored me of course. When I tried to put my hand on his shoulder this time I felt him jerk away from my touch. If you could have read my mind at this moment you would realize how little I had thought out. I think I have made that clear. I don't think there is a parenting manual about what to do, and I was making things up as I went along. And by making things up, I mean I was doing nothing right.
I lay down beside him and tried to pull him over to me, but he lay there, still tense and angry. "Cody? Talk to me."
I repeated that a few times and finally he replied to me.
"What do I say at this point mom?" His tone was sullen, and my heart broke for the young man beside me.
