I was a teen mom. My daughter asked “when she was made”. I lied and said I didn’t know. I only slept with him twice, the second time was not consensual. I never want her to know that detail.

I lied to my daughter today. I changed the time on the clocks and told her it's bedtime already. I'm so tired.

I hate her for refusing to acknowledge my daughter's existence. She lives in Alaska...
My daughter is her first born grandchild.
