Meeting your sperm donor?

Posted by Piscivore

There's really no need for this thread.

Your daughter is still a minor, who's highly impressionable and still very naive. In other words, emotionally, she's extremely vulnerable.

One of your roles, as a mother, is to protect your child from the harsh disappointments and realities of life. Yet, taking all this into account, you still want to cater towards to your daughter's rose-tinted vision of a father who she's never met.

That just leaves me to conclude that this isn't about your daughter, but more about you and what you want. Maybe this boils down to your Taurean stubbornness (especially knowing full well the likelihood of the outcome)? Or maybe you're trying to alleviate some guilt? I really have no idea but that's for you to figure out.

My advice would be to put the whole issue on the back-burner. Maybe the father will eventually take responsibility, maybe he won't. Until then, simply feed your daughter a little white lie - concoct a story that will put to bed the idea of meeting him in her head.

She's much too young to experience the crushing disappointment that may await her, so wait until she's older to handle it.

I forget how we like to use astral placements as weapons here.

I 100% disagree that it’s my job to protect her from harsh disappointments and realities of life. I believe it is my job to walk with her as I teach her how to face them and overcome them, to be prepared for the day she has to walk alone. That is very important to me, and I will never lie to her about this stuff, that shit create distrust, and I'm all she's got.

I appreciate you sharing your opinion, that is one way to look at it.
