"I accept you, whatever way you are. You're still my boy, still my son."

She asks her son: "Can I tell you something too? Since you've opened up to me, I'll tell you a little something too.

"I've had a girlfriend."

"And I was always worried about what you would think," she adds softly, as her son sits in stunned silence.

The loving mum adds that her same-sex relationship took place before she was married to the boy's father, who has since passed away it is revealed in the video, and reaffirms her love for her son.

She then asks her son for a hug and, when he playfully refuses, leaps over and wraps her arms tightly around him.

What a beautiful mother-son relationship.
