The mother of a 30-year-old daughter is currently in a difficult situation and is looking for help on how to tell her that her brother is actually her father.
The unnamed woman revealed this unique circumstance in a letter to The Atlantic’s Dear Therapist column, according to Mail Online.
We didn’t want to use a sperm bank, so we asked my husband’s son to be the donor
She recounted how she had no children at the time of their marriage, while her husband had two of his own.
Her spouse undergone a vasectomy, an irreversible procedure, even though they both wanted to start a family together. They were therefore forced to come up with a different answer.
The woman wrote in her letter to the journal,
“We didn’t want to use a sperm bank, so we asked my husband’s son to be the donor. We believed this was the best decision as our child would have my husband’s genetic traits, and we were aware of my stepson’s good health, personality, and intelligence. He agreed to help. Now that our daughter is 30, how do we tell her that her ‘father’ is her grandfather, her ‘brother’ is her father, her ‘sister’ is her aunt, and her ‘nephew’ is her half-brother?”
She went on to convey her concern and fear about disclosing this information. Her spouse, she claimed, is finding the circumstances difficult as well since he wants his daughter to know that he will always be her father.
Psychiatrist and blogger Lori Gottlieb admitted that the woman’s daughter would need to deal with two difficult truths: the fact that her parents had concealed the name of her biological father for 30 years, and the fact that she would need to accept the fact that she was his biological daughter.
Gottlieb continued by offering guidance on how to handle such a delicate subject.
She first stressed the significance of revealing the facts in a straightforward and unambiguous manner and expressing a heartfelt apologies.
Gottlieb advised the mother to refrain from making excuses and to accept full responsibility for withholding the facts from the beginning.
