Okay...need some advice. Backstory: I met a guy my freshman year of college. We started dating and I became pregnant after a few months. I moved home and he moved on... He met his child once as a baby, and then I never heard from him again. That was 19 years ago. Now, years later, he is e-mailing me. We have worked through a lot of issues from the past. He claims that he loves me and wants a relationship with me and his child. I am single and have never married. He is 2x divorced, and just moved out of his current girlfriends home. He has 2 more kids, one by a wife and one by the girlfriend. I have strong feelings for him, but my daughter doesn't know we have e-mailed. I was waiting for her to ask about him. I don't want her to have to deal with any emotional baggage she isn't ready for. So...my questions. 1) Do I tell her that he and I are in contact and he wants a relationship with me and her? 2) Do I trust him and try a relationship after 19 years? I think I could love him again...but I just don't know...
my advice for you is share with her that you have contacted him she is old enough now that she will be honest and if yall do decide to bring him into yalls life id recommend doing it gradually its less stressful that way either way itll be hard on you and her no matter the choice i hope and pray that whatever your decision be yall be happy and healthy :)
