I would have a relationship with her for the sake of the children. At the end of the day, itās not any of the kids problem. But thatās their sibling and I think itās nice of her to still want them to have a relationship especially after the abuse. She could just say āscrew if I want nothing to do with him or his sideā but sheās not. At least attempt it and if it doesnāt work, at least you can say you triedš

Please allow it. My sisters and I didnāt get to bond with our younger sister from another mom (estranged father) until she was 12 and we were 15 and 16. While we have a close relationship now, I sure wish we could have memories from childhood too.

Honestly, stay in contact. Iām in a similar situation.
2 kids of mine, 1 with other girl. (mine are 8 and 5, hers 7 months). Bio dad and second girl are technically together, but itās alot easier being her friend than an enemy. The kids will grow up knowing their sibling. Biodad sure as hell doesnāt see them, but me and her try to get kids together at least once a week. If sheās not a druggie or bad influence on the kids mental health, Iād be all for the kids having a relationship. Itās weird water to navigate, but eventually youāll find a groove for you two.
Let the siblings have contact PLEASE. I met my sister when I was 17 and she was 16 and we can never get that time back.

It is not the childās fault at all, its the parents. But since heās not living with you and yāall arenāt married, Iām not sure Iād be ok with them getting to know each other, unless the dad has the kids in his care and wants to have them together, but I wouldnāt try to do it if itās just you, unless the kids get older or are older like 16+ and want to be involved in that childās life. Donāt stress over it nor deal or worry about that right now. And I find it kinda crazy that she would talk to you about that right now and she hasnāt even had the child, but then again she is 17.
have a relationship with her and welcome her. if she is 17 and left a DV situation that speaks volumes. sheās strong. the siblings deserve to know each other. in my opinion.

Sheās not really done anything wrong. Fell for the wrong bloke just like you did. Be her friend and see how it goes. The kids will probably love having a sibling and they deserve to try and get to know each other.
I would leave it up to the kids if they want to have contact or stay in contact with their new sibling. Theyāre feelings are all that matter right now . If they want to then fine let them. If not, donāt force them to stay in touch.

I donāt see why so many are saying it is just the manās fault? This woman knew better and slept with a married manā¦long enough to get pregnant. Noā¦i wouldnāt have anything to do with her or the kid. She shouldnāt have slept with a married man and should have used birth control. When kids are older ,they could have choice to see the sibling. If this happened to me,i would not want to be around the husband anymore or his side chick. Shouldnāt have to deal with the consequences of his actions. 17 is old enough to know better than to sleep with a married man and how to use birth control.

I think your kids would resent you in future for not allowing them to know a half sibling. That is their blood also. Be amicable and let them know their sibling. Same goes for the innocent child who was born who wouldnāt know their siblings. Let them know each other and have a bond. The children are innocent.

No. If the kids when they are adults want to reach out fine but not as kids.

Stay in contact. Iād want them to stay in contact with their siblings as long as she comes to you or you meet up.
I keep in touch with my daughterās half sisters. Even flew us out to see them. Theirs a reason yāall left that man, donāt let the kids suffer over adult drama
So let me tell you my situationā¦ My 2 little ones have a different dad than my oldest. I found out my oldest had a sibling 3 years older than himā¦ So I found the mom and we all became friends since they were little. my 2 little ones donor, who they have no contact with got another girl pregnant while we were still together and she had a baby boy. My 2 little ones refuse to have any contact with him. I gave them this adviseā¦ Your half brother did nothing wrong and it is up to you if you want to have any relationship with him. It would be nice if you did because he is your family. But they still refuse, so I donāt force it. I will mention it every once in a while to remind them but I get not response from them.

I think if you allowed the kids to make their own decision about seeing their dad, you can allow them the same courtesy for the sibling.
However, I would encourage a relationship with both. Check base often and make sure theyāre still solid on their decisions and support them if they change their mind.
Children should know their siblings, she sounds pretty mature in that line of thinking
Yes. Siblings is all they will have one day. Donāt keep them away. They will hate you for it later.

Since you feel the kids are old enough to make their own decision not to see their Dad then itās probably safe to say they are old enough to decide if they want to stay in touch with the half sibling as well. As his ex wife, I wouldnāt have any desire to stay in touch with her or the drama between them that will probably come from it all but if you can stay a safe distance away, be assured she wonāt create havoc or involve your kids in adult issues (even though she is a kid too) or she doesnāt try to involve you in the child rearing or want to ādropā the kid off to āvisitā itās siblings expecting any of you to babysit, then do whatās best and most comfortable for your children. But since the MaMa is a child raising a child Iād be careful not to become the āother motherā for them. None of it is any of the kidsā fault and it would be wonderful if it went smoothly. 
I meanā¦ itās their sibling. Yeah, your husband got a teenager pregnant. Thatās an issue on its own. But her baby is their siblingā¦
Yep, be the bigger person and allow the relationship between the siblings. Itās not the babyās fault nor your kidsā fault. They will appreciate the maturity you displayed with this when they are older

Be easier to try and nurture a relationship for the siblings now than when they are older and want to know each other.

Iād ask your children what they think and leave it up to them. They are old enough to say they donāt want to see there dad so they can choose to see there sibling. It must have taken her a lot to reach out and ask you this so she is trying to be a grown up here. She did wrong as he was with someone but I bet he fed her lies and at 17 she probably fell for all of them. Keep in touch with her she may need a grown up to help her in the long run with the baby.

I feel it depends. Is she going to keep contact with him? Are you okay with that if she does? Did he know she was 17? Was it sexual abuse? Thereās lots of questions only you can answer. I personally would explain to her that if she needs anything to let you know but that we can feel out for her to be around the kids. Yes you want siblings to know each other but you have to put your kids first. She has to put her baby first now too. Hoping you both can come to a agreement that blesses all kids involved. Praying he gets way he deserves. Praying that the young mom has a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. Praying for your momma heart and for you to make the best decision for your kiddos. Iām so sorry you, her, and the kids are going through this
