We're financially in a good place, and committed to each other. By the way, before you think we're a couple of dumbasses, we were entirely aware that this might happen. We tried a couple birth control options, and they were really not good for her.

We made a conscious decision to take the risk, understanding that while unlikely to get pregnant at her age, we would accept it if it happens, as we are doing now. It's a big decision to make, but pretty straightforward. Except, about 35 years ago, my dad sexually abused my sisters. I now feel like I have to tell my girlfriend because of the child we might bring into the world.

She deserves to know. i've leaned toward not telling her because it's not my story to tell if my sisters chose to share it at some point then that's up to them one of my sisters estranged herself from my father nine years ago when she had her own kid Another sister is on friendly terms with him after a lot of processing. She has no kids of her own.

My partner and I will have to decide together whether my father will have contact with our child. I'd like him to have a relationship with our child, but I would probably draw the line at leaving him alone with them. But whatever my partner feels most comfortable with would take precedence. For my part, I'm on friendly terms with my dad. He's done a lot of serious personal work on himself.

We were both part of a community whose core was a meditation practice that has been life-changing. The deep inner work that I've experienced through it has been very profound. But I find it hard to explain how exactly I've seen my father change as a result. I also tend to be super forgiving toward people to avoid harboring resentment.

And in many ways, I think I'm naive in giving people the benefit of the doubt. My biggest fear is that if I tell my girlfriend about all this, she will not want to be with me. That would be devastating. I don't know if I'm overreacting, or I can trust that our connection can weather anything.

I think it can, but I'm so scared that I'll be tainted in her eyes, even though I personally am not unsafe. But then I've never loved anyone like this, and I feel like this is my opportunity to live the loving relationship that I've longed for, and I hate to think that this thing I had no control over could doom my love life.
