Where do I even begin? Okay, first of all, I am a 25-year-old female living in Lagos. Last month, I decided to visit my mum in Warri after a whole year of not seeing her, and right now I am wondering if that was even a wise decision. When I got home, she was very happy to see me, and I was happy too. I really missed her. We are close like friends, although she does not know everything about me, as she should for her mental health’s sake. I am her only single daughter left, by the way. She always asks about my relationships, but I keep everything superficial. She has no idea I swing both ways. Four days after I got back, I went to the supermarket to buy groceries and coincidentally ran into an old friend. We used to be intimate together. I did not tell her I was in town, so we were both surprised to see each other. We hung out a few times to catch up and, I guess, reignite our friendship or situationship. Anyway, fast forward to judgment day. My mum told me she was going to visit her friend, so I was alone at home. I was bored, so I called my friend to come over, and she did. We were watching a movie, and midway through, I honestly do not even know how my hands started moving, like I was not in control.
Next thing, we were kissing uncontrollably. My hands kept moving deeper, and our bodies got hot with passion. Suddenly, I heard someone shout, “Jesus.” I looked up, and it was my mum, with her mouth wide open and her eyes in shock. I was frozen. How did I even forget to lock the door? I did not know what to do, so I started apologising and told my friend to leave, and she left immediately. Thankfully, my mum did not react violently. It was so awkward. I had no idea how to react. After my mum ranted about how disappointed she was, she walked out of the room crying. That same day, I packed some clothes and went to my cousin’s place because I could not even look at her. I was completely embarrassed. Two days later, I booked a flight back to Lagos. It has been over a week now, and my mum and I have not spoken. I know she is really hurt, and I never meant for her to catch me in that situation. Between the two of us, I am not sure who is more affected. I honestly do not know what to do or where to start. Right now, it feels like we have disowned each other for now. I am in serious trouble.
