Things That Matter

What would you do if you are one of the people involved in this bizarre sickening circumstance?

Jane (not her real name) got married at young age. She was just 17 when she got pregnant and got married at 18. She bore Dianne (not her real name).  Bert, Jane’s husband died when she was 26 years old, Dianne her only child has just turned  8 years old then. After 3 years Jane got married again to Jim who was only 20 years old, Jane was then 29 and Dianne was 11.

Years went fast and Jane gave Jim 3 sons. Jim took Dianne as his own child so they made a happy family. Jim a fisherman fish at night and in the day Jane sells the fish at the market and usually comes home in the afternoon. Things turned uncanny in the 9^th year of Jane and Jim’s relationship as couple. Dianne has to stop school due to financial constraint and give way for her half brothers. Dianne who was 20 years old now an out of school is at home most of the time.

Jane began hearing stories and rumors from her neighbor saying that something is fishy with her daughter Dianne and Jim her husband. Jane just disregarded the rumors saying “people misunderstood Jim and Dianne’s closeness as father and daughter.” Until such time, they turned out to be the talk of the town. Jane could no longer withhold her doubts and one day decided to come home early as she could no longer understand the situation and to her dismay she hear the gasps and moans as she got closer to her bedroom, she caught her husband and her daughter in the act of. Jane broke down to tears in dismay.

She confronted them and her daughter admitted that she is in love with her stepfather. Jim also admitted that she is in love with her stepdaughter.
