I don’t know how to tell my 30yr old daughter that her brother is her father- Woman cries out

A mother has reached out online seeking advice on how to tell her 30-year-old daughter that her brother is actually her father.

In an anonymous message shared on Atlantic Dear Therapist, she explained that when she married her husband, he already had two children, but she did not have any of her own. 
Despite her desire for a child, her husband had previously undergone a vasectomy that could not be reversed, leaving her unable to conceive.

It reads below……

Dear Therapist,

When I married my husband, he had two adult children, and I had none. We both wanted to have a child together, but my husband had a vasectomy after his second child was born—too long ago to get the procedure reversed.

We didn’t want to use a sperm bank, so we asked my husband’s son to be the donor. We felt that was the best decision: Our child would have my husband’s genes, and we knew my stepson’s health, personality, and intelligence. He agreed to help.

Our daughter is 30 now. How do we tell her that her “father” is her grandfather, her “brother” is her father, her “sister” is her aunt, and her “nephew” is her half-brother?

My husband and I are anxious, confused, and worried about telling her. This is also hard on my husband, because he wants our daughter to know that he will always and forever be her father.
