My Daughter Screamed When She Met My Boyfriend When Jessica introduced her daughter Emma to her boyfriend Alex, Emma screamed, fearing Alex would take her away due to her father’s threats. Jessica had been dating Alex for a year and was shocked by Emma’s reaction. “This is not how I thought things would work out,” Jessica said.
Jessica had carefully planned the introduction, but Emma hid behind her, crying, “Mommy, please!” Emma’s father, Tom, had told her Alex was dangerous. “Daddy told me to run if I ever see him,” Emma explained. Jessica, furious, called Tom, who admitted he didn’t trust Alex and had tried to scare Emma. Jessica reassured Emma, “Alex is kind and won’t harm us.” Alex promised, “I just want to be your buddy.” Determined to fix things, Jessica told Tom he could only see Emma with Alex present. Tom reluctantly agreed. Jessica felt a mix of anger and determination but was committed to making things right for Emma with Alex’s support.
