Not A Father Complex When It's Really Dad

family relations | incest

Thus the story of a couple in Australia who have had two children, one that didn't survive, and turn out to be father and daughter.

The story goes that the father and daughter didn't know they were related when they met, as the father had been separated from the daughter while she was a baby, they fell in love, and later learned they were related. But it was too late to stop them at that point, and, therefore, two children.

The courts have gotten into the mix telling them they're not allowed to have more children, which should be interesting to see what happens if they do. The girl's mother says the couple are lying because they supposedly talked over the years and is outraged, as is his younger daughter from a second marriage.

For once, this isn't an American tale, coming from Australia instead, and, of all things, they went on their version of 60 Minutes to talk about it. I'm trying to imagine Morley Safer conducting this interview.

That's so creepy!

I signed up to be an egg donor years and years ago in San Francisco. They lost my file, so I wasn't contacted by them until right before we moved across the country. I felt really bad about not being able to do it until I realised what could happen! My sons were still very young then, so in theory, any child that was produced could have grown up to hook up with them down the line. Can you imagine falling in love and then finding out she's your sister! Bleck!

I tell ya - if this couple is telling the truth, it's really sad for them. If they're lying - it's one of the sickest things I've heard in a long while!
