Mother and Son Lovers in New Mexico
A recently reunited mother and son in New Mexico are under scrutiny by authorities for having a sexual relationship, but the pair insist they are in love and should be allowed to indulge their incestuous affair. Monica Mares gave birth to Caleb Peterson 19 years ago and quickly gave him up for adoption. But recently the two reunited, and Mares says they’ve fallen in love and want to be considered a couple despite facing 18 months in jail if found guilty of incest.“He is the love of my life, and I don’t want to lose him,” the 36-year-old Mares told the Daily Mail. “My kids love him, my whole family does. Nothing can come between us not courts or jail. Nothing.”The two reconnected around Christmas time last year and began to get closer by the day, Mares says.The tattoo-festooned woman insists that when she first met her adult son last year, her love for him was “a mother’s love.” But it wasn’t long before she began getting “crazy feelings” for the young man she named Carlos at birth.Mares says she soon broached the subject with the young man, and according to her, he fessed up to feeling the same way. The pair then decided to take their relationship to the dating level. Soon Mares’s other children began calling their half-brother “dad.”
