A woman from America shared how she became engaged to her father. It took them more than a decade apart and only got reunited when she was 17. When they got reunited, they decided to get engaged and start a family of their own.

The daughter and father got reunited through the help of technology. They started to chat with each other online for a few weeks and the two felt that there’s spark between them in a romantic way. The woman who wants to remain anonymous spoke to New York Magazine’s Science of Us to share her love story with her own father :

“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.”

The instant attraction was undeniable and it got deeper as she decided to stay with him for a week. It only took them 5 days to share how they fancy each other. Before they get to sleep together, the woman confessed to her father that he is her first lover. Fast forward to the present, they are now an engaged couple and plans on having their own children together as well. Their relatives knows their relationship and it appears that it is not a big deal to them anyway.

The only person who still remains in the dark was her mother. The woman confirmed that she will tell everything to her mother once they already moved to New Jersey. It is known on New Jersey that consensual, incestuous relationships where both parties are over 18 are not being punished. The woman is optimistic that her mother will accept it and start to visit her grandchildren in the near future.
