She revealed that she had no children when she and her husband were first married, whereas he had two of his own.
Although she and her spouse wanted to start a family together, her husband had already had a vasectomy, which was permanent. They were forced to come up with a different solution as a result.
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 continued by expressing her worry and nervousness about disclosing this knowledge. She claimed that her husband finds the situation difficult as well since he wants their kid to know that he will always be her father.
In response, therapist and columnist Lori Gottlieb admitted that the woman’s daughter will have to deal with two difficult truths: the fact that her parents have concealed her biological father’s identity for thirty years, and the fact that she will have to learn who he is.
After then, Gottlieb gave guidance on how to handle such a delicate subject.
