I met my husband four years ago and at first I was reluctant to tell him I was a single mom with a teenage son but as our relationship deepened and there was talk of marriage between us I realised that I'd have to tell him about my son and hope that he was the good and loving man that I thought he was.
I needn't have worried.
He took my revelation in his stride and soon the two were as close as if they really were father and son.
Like any newly weds, we wanted a child of our own but we didn't have any luck.
Of course I knew I could conceive - my son was proof of that - but my husband was reluctant to have any tests, perhaps feeling that his manhood was in question.
So what to do?
I didn't want to have a child by a stranger and without my husband's consent I couldn't go to a fertility clinic.
Then a terrible thought crept into my head. What about my son?
But sex with my son is unthinkable. It would be incest and I can't do that.
