My parent’s [35M]/[57F] age gap is really bothering me [17F] and it’s affecting my relationship with my mother, I’m not sure what to do

My relationship with my mother and father are really great, except that I have been a little distant towards my mother lately. I’ve always known my mom was older than my dad by a lot, and it really mostly started bothering me now that I can really comprehend it. My mom is already 57 while my dad is only 35 years old. I’m not going to lie, they have a very good marriage, my they make each other really happy, and they have raised me to be a good person.

They are both reallt succesful and I have noticed how much they have helped each other but something about their age gap hurts my feelings. It makes me feel somewhat ashamed, sad, and very hurt, but I cannot explain why. It’s made me distant with my mother and I wish I could talk with her about it, but she’s a really sensitive person and I don’t want to make her feel shameful of herself and I don’t want to cause any problems with their marriage. Please guys any advice would really help me out.

TL;DR I have been feeling bad about my parents’ age gap relationship and I don’t know how to handle it
