Emma

We were married for about seven years.

She's 10, about to be 11.

I believe she's eight now.

No.

And the mother of that child does not want him to be a part of her life.

So it's really more so just giving my daughter an opportunity to know her half-sister and have a relationship with her, even if the dad is not involved.

I do on an acquaintance level, just to kind of give you a little background when...

She originally told me she was pregnant and then she had her daughter and then we didn't talk for a couple of years.

And then she reached out to me and expressed interest in our daughters knowing each other and having a relationship.

And so I agreed to that.

But I had the condition that I wanted to confirm that it that this was my daughter's half sister by like doing a DNA test just to make sure because I didn't know her situation or if she was with other people at the time.

So we did that and we did confirm that they are sisters.

That was six, seven years ago.

Okay.

So this has been ongoing for a while and it's kind of just a topic that is just not discussed, but it's just kind of looming in the background.

And the older my daughter gets, the more responsibility I kind of feel that I need to

let her know and give her the opportunity to have a relationship.

But I also feel like it's, it should be his place to have that conversation with her.

Um, we're just, I wouldn't really call us friends, but we're cordial.

We're nice to each other.
