Her Mom Left Her Dad And Now Her Dad Is Dating Her Aunt, Yet She’s Supportive Of This
A 21-year-old woman learned less than 2 years ago that her mom was stepping out on her dad.
Her mom then left her dad to be with a coworker, but before her mom did that, she alerted her dad to what her mom was doing behind his back.
Before her mom ruined everything, she never liked her mom much, to begin with. “My mom was never there for me as a mother,” she explained.
“She didn’t care about my upbringing and barely was part of my life. My dad was the one who was beside me every step I took and every hardship I had.”
“Throughout my entire childhood, she was using my father, was always angry with him and treating him (bad). My father would always comply with my mom’s needs and she did nothing in return.”
So I guess you could say her childhood was pretty toxic; just like her mom. Even though her mom was awful to her, she always had a mother figure in her life.
Her mom’s sister, which is her aunt, is the one who really took her under her wing. Her aunt stepped up for her, treating her just like a daughter.
“She cared more about me than my mom did and was always there for me if I needed her,” she said.
“We got along great and she also helped me through some tough times. She supported and encouraged me to go to college and helped me figure it all out.”

Her aunt also maintained an excellent relationship with her dad, though it was just in a family kind of way and nothing more.
After her aunt found out that her mom was leaving them, her aunt did her best to be supportive of her dad.
She lives with her dad and doesn’t speak to her mom at all. Recently, her dad asked her to have a chat with him, and he revealed that things are so wonderful with her aunt that he would like to do something about it.
“He told me that they were both interested in seeing each other romantically but weren’t sure if I would be ok with it and if this would complicate my bond with my mother,” she continued.
“This does seem a bit weird to me but to be honest I actually am supportive of the idea. They were both very important in my upbringing and I’m sure they would be great for each other.”
The relationship she has with her mom (if you can even call it that) is already so terrible that she doesn’t feel it’s a priority in her life.
Instead, it’s a priority for her to see her dad and her aunt happy, even if it risks her relationship with her mom.
She thinks that both her dad and her aunt will be perfect together, yet she’s wondering how to deal if things with her mom go even more south than they already are.
Do you have any advice for her?
