A teenage daughter has told
how she became engaged to her father after the two were reunited following more
than a decade apart. The American woman was estranged from her dad growing
up, but the two got back in touch when she was 17.After chatting online for a
few weeks the two met – and felt an instant attraction.
Speaking to New York Magazine’s
Science of Us the anonymous woman, now 18, said:
“It was so weird and
confusing. I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also
like, He’s so good-looking!”I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was
like, I’m meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the internet and
really connecting with and I find him attractive.”
She went to stay with him for a week
and after just five days the pair discussed their attraction to one another,
before losing her virginity to him. They are now a couple, have become
engaged, and even plan on having children together.
Some of their family members are aware
of their relationship – and treat them “just like any other couple” – but her
mum is still in the dark.
But the daughter says she will tell
her mother once she and her dad have moved to New Jersey where consensual,
incestuous relationships where both parties are over 18 are not punished.
She hopes her mother will still want
to come and visit her grandchildren.
Asked if she was worried about the
potential genetic problems that could face their children, she replied
“I wouldn’t risk
having a kid if I thought it would be harmful. I’ve done my research.”Incest
has been around as long as humans have. Everybody just needs to deal with it as
long as nobody is getting hurt or getting pressured or forced.”
But asked if she would tell their
children that their dad was both their father and grandfather, she was less
sure.
“We’ve decided that
most likely we won’t, she said. “I don’t want to give them any problems.”
