Of course my mom would still hear it but at least it's not live. My therapist suggested that I record something and send it to him. Tonight I recorded a 2.5 minute message for my dad including me singing the song and I'm no Maria Callas for sure. The recording feels intensely private and intimate to me but I'm really feeling like I want to share this recording with my therapist, singing and all. Does that sound like too weird of a thing to share with him?

not weird at all. i sang twice for my t - once a song I wrote (on a phone session) and once a melissa etheridge song that perfectly speaks to who i was before i started therapy with her (sitting in her office). both times felt very private/intimate.
