Is there anything more twisted or sloppy than your ex hooking up with one of your family members long after your relationship has ended? I think not.
And how would you feel if you found out that your own child got knocked up by a man you used to be engaged to, and they knew about the connection to you before they got involved with your child?
This woman has a 19-year-old daughter who recently came home from college for the summer and promptly announced that she’s unexpectedly pregnant.
“When I asked who the father was, she refused to tell me for days. I thought it was someone married, a professor, or some other situation she was scared to explain,” she said.
“Turns out it’s my former fiancé. The man I was supposed to marry 20 years ago. He’s 43 now. Apparently, they met at a coffee shop near her campus, started talking, began dating, and a few months later, she got pregnant.”
“The worst part is that he recognized her last name almost immediately and knew exactly who she was, but he never told her. He admitted he knew she was my daughter and continued seeing her anyway.”
Her daughter and her ex-fiancé are currently discussing moving in with one another so that they can be together and raise their child.
Her daughter has argued with her that she’s an adult, and very much so in love with this man!
To be perfectly clear, she is not interested in getting back together with her ex-fiancé, and it’s not like she’s jealous of her daughter. That’s not what she’s struggling with here.

“I just cannot understand how a man who once planned a future with me is now having a child with my daughter,” she continued.
“My family is completely divided, and I honestly feel like I’m living in some kind of nightmare.”
Talk about sloppy seconds! This is just gross all the way around, and it makes me feel like her ex-fiancé is predatory, because it’s not like he innocently fell in love with her daughter.
I wonder if this is some kind of a revenge plot her ex-fiancé put together. Anyway, we may never know the truth, but the best thing she can do is be there to support her daughter.
It can be from a distance; she doesn’t have to have an up-close and personal view of this new love story, but I think she absolutely should not abandon her daughter in case this goes south, or for fear of pushing her daughter even closer to her ex-fiancé, leaving her with nobody else to rely on.
It’s hard enough to be a mom at 19, let alone a mom to a child you have with your own mom’s former love.
What advice do you have for her?
