My partner and I lived together for 8 years and although I didn’t feel I was the marrying type I thought it was the the thing to do (and I did love him). Too be fair he had a bit of a reputation and my sister was always jealous. A few days before I was due to get married I found out my sister had been sleeping with him which as an after thought made sense as she thought I disrespected him. But long story short, they were not married long and 10 years later me and him (I know I am a fool) are back together and have been for 16 years and she is no longer part of my life. My issue which I please need advice on is, her daughter who was the light of my life and then taken away from me refers to my fella as dad but has not made any contact for 10 years and when sh3 got married (1st wedding booked for Caribbean no invite) and wedding Booked register office but blamed lockdown rules, which is fair enough but if you can’t have the person you refer to as dad then he is not dad, her marriage has now split up and is phoning dad, I will always help them but my head is mangled, please give some advice

Let me get my head around this.

Your husband's ex-wife is sister.
Your step child is your niece so you are aunt and step- mother.

The relationship between her and her dad has got nothing to do with you.

What does your husband/her dad want to do? What is it you are struggling with at the moment?

Gosh.

So I've got this right...

Your husbands ex wife is your sister and your niece isn't his biological child but she calls him dad even though they've not spoken in 10 years?

What a mess.
