A 53-year-old man posted on Reddit about a difficult family situation. His 15-year-old daughter, Ellie, revealed she’s pregnant and wants to keep the baby. However, the real issue isn’t the pregnancy—it’s the family secret they’ve been hiding from Ellie.

When the man and his wife, Rose, were young, their older daughter, Sarah, became pregnant at 15. She considered terminating, then chose adoption, but later asked them to adopt her baby. At 16, Sarah gave birth to Ellie, who was adopted by the couple. Over time, Sarah distanced herself from Ellie, and they never formed a close bond.
