The father was already separated from his wife when they met. Lol

You have a difficult time keeping your story straight. You told us "my mother is dating her father and he left his wife", meaning that as a result of your mother's decision to start dating a married man he left his wife. Now you want us to believe that he left his wife, then met your mother, then they started dating. Sorry, I believe the first version. As for whether or not your mother actually discusses her sex life with you, um... I don't want to go there. But I doubt that this guy is dating your mother because he enjoys celibacy.

My mother originally didn't want to continue the relationship with him when she was told he was married.

Wait a minute here -- your mother started to date a married man who lied to her and told her that he was not married. Then she found out he was lying, and thought for a few minutes about dumping him. And then she said, "What the heck", and decided to date him anyway? Alrighty....

He also doesn't have contact with his ex or his daughter because of the crazt stuff they have been doing.

---

So he supposedly had contact with them before the daughter... no, now it's both the mother and daughter... started doing "crazy stuff". Then he stopped having contact with them. Yet he somehow knows mom's excuse for not stopping the daughter from doing "crazy stuff".

We have filed a police report and they say we have a case.

There's some parenting for you.... I personally would have tried apologizing to my daughter for my treatment of her and my disrespect for my family, and perhaps proposing family counseling.

Exactly what section of the Penal Code is being proposed as the basis for the charge?

Texas.

His did have contact with his daughter until this behavior started. The mother found out through going into his email account and phone records.

My mother originally didn't want to continue the relationship with him when she was told he was married. She has strong feelings for him and is trying to deal with this the best she can. My mother is a very sweet, soft spoken woman. Not that it matters because she is the one being harassed.

Lovely. So dad is abandoning his daughter for his adulterous lover and your mother is okay with being a mistress. I don't care how sweet she is. If she had a soul she would not want a man abandoning his daughter for a mistress. And she wouldn't be with a married man.

Btw, my mother is not simply "hooking up" with this man. She is in love with him, and also celibate unless married, which she does not currently have plans to marry him.

I didn't come here for shitty opinions about someone you don't know. I came for opinions on the legal situation. You can leave your misplaced judgments at the door.

But she is still a mistress. That is not a misplaced judgment. It is the truth. She is fine and dandy being a mistress to a married man and him abandoning his child for her. Doesn't say much for the man or your mother.

We're about a half-century into the era in which society accepts that after a marriage breaks down and the parties separate, one or both may get into a new relationship before the divorce is final. As they say, life goes on.

In this particular case, however, I find the original telling to be a better explanation for the subsequent problems (dad dumps mom due to his new relationship), than the later version (dad dumps mom, months pass, dad starts the celibate dating of a new woman although he initially lies to her and says he's not married, mom and daughter over-react, dad continues his celibate relationship). Still, when a parent or spouse dumps their family in favor of a new relationship, the principal responsibility for that decision should rest on that parent or spouse.

haleydt23, you and your mother should try putting yourself in this girls place. How would you feel if the tables were turned ? It is also important remember that there is no way that this man is being totally honest about what his relationship was/is with his wife and daughter. For all you and your mother know, he has told his wife and daughter that he left them for your mother.

By the way, no man that values celibacy is going to treat his daughter like this man is treating his daughter. Grant you celibacy has nothing to do with the daughter, but it is a matter of values. Talk is cheap, everyone does it. It is when a person puts their words into action that makes them different than others.
