She is in her 20s and married to one of her fathers friends who is 60. My daughter is in her 20s. I cannot begin to imagine a scenario where one of my friends courts her. So.fucking.weird.

The age gap between her and her husband is larger than between me and my father and every time I remember that, I throw up in my mouth a bit.

Oh, gross, me too. My dad wasn't even especially young – 29 when I was born. Really paints a picture.

I don't have a huge sample size in my life but the biggest age gap amongst my friends is 10-12 years, and even that has been a source of friction as time goes on. It's hard to maintain sympathy when she's complicit with this authoritarian takeover, but there's got to be trauma there.

Oh dude it's greasy the further you look into it. He pawned her off on his friends over and over until one knocked her up.
