Dear Dr. G.,
This is probably one of the most disturbing questions that you'll get. I am a 45 year old mother of two lovely late teen girls. Lately, my 17 year old has started dating and the boys ages 17 and 18 have been visiting at the house (when I'm home ONLY). I find myself looking at these young men and finding them very attractive. Look, I would never act on any of these feelings but for heaven's sake I did NOT expect to have sick feelings like this. And yes, I did see The Graduate when I was younger and I do not want to follow in Mrs. Robinson's footsteps. Am I normal or am I a sick woman?
Another Mrs. Robinson?
Dear Mom,
The Graduate was a very popular movie for many reasons. One of those reasons is that it resonated with many middle aged women who despite their age continue to find younger men attractive. Clearly, Mrs. Robinson stepped into a zone where she didn't belong and,of course, it is not a place that I would recommend that anyone go for obvious emotional, legal, and ethical issues.
