Today, my daughter's 14-year-old boyfriend confessed, in front of her, that he only went out with her so he might have a chance to date me. My daughter isn't speaking to me. FML

Is your daughter's name Stacy?

That's a pretty understandable reaction if you consider how important it is for young teenage girls to feel accepted, wanted, and desirable. So much of our society stresses that girls have no value outside of being desirable partners so a lot of girls are taught that that's what their self worth is based on. It doesn't justify her being mad at you but it does somewhat explain it. It seems like she's reacting out of hurt and lashing out at a person who will accept and love her without any ulterior motive. It often feels "safer" to take out those feelings of hurt on someone you know for sure loves you. Give her room, and then be there to support her when she's cooled off. This is one hell of a bad experience for her. What an awful and inappropriate thing for her boyfriend to say, let alone do.

I can appreciate this from both perspectives, but sadly this was a scenario beyond your control and you need to explain to your daughter that you had no idea, no interest and frankly she's better off without someone willing to use others like that

I initially read this from the perspective of a father for some reason...

Damn right it could happen! This was my train of thought for a solid 3-5 minutes.

I never thought of this but actually "Anonymous" doesn't say if its a mother or a father. Crazy gets even more crazy.

Incest AND the father is 14?! That's a messed up plot twist haha. Plus, how old would the daughter be? She can't be 14 if the (biological) dad is 14. And why would she date her own father? xD

This sounds like a Disney channel show to me.

The girl is 14, her reaction to this horrible situation is normal. Once she calms down talk to her about how messed up that kid is and how her value is not attached to any guy or how she looks but by her heart and mind. I would also tell the parents of the boy. He sounds messed up
