Angel, I have been married for 22 years now. Just two months ago I found out that I have a daughter from a relationship before meeting my wife. This has been hidden from me for all those years. My problem is that my wife is treating me like I had an affair. She does not want me to have a relationship with the child. Time will tell all, I know, but what can I do now to help the situation.

Marriage counseling is your best bet. It should not matter what happened before you met your wife, but I am sure that finding out that a child exists from a prior relationship was a shock for both of you.

Counseling will help you both accept the situation without guilt feelings or feeling that you had an affair.

How sad that you did not know all these years and missed out on her growing up.
