this could probably be used for a story idea, weather incest or not would depend on your own answer. this is a real problem that a friend of mine had to deal with several years ago.
first, the set up...
a young man and his father live together in a modestly sized city. the mother had left some years earlier after a nasty divorce and,due to the circumstances of the divorce (sorry, he never told me anything about it other than it was really ugly), the son chose to stay with his father to end the custody battle. they had gotten along well before the divorce, but in the few years that followed, their relationship grew quite strong.
since the son was still in school when his mother left, the father had to work even harder to keep their house and support his son's education, at the expense of his own love life. even though things were difficult, the father never blamed his son for the hardship and went even further by helping his son whenever it was needed. the son knew how hard it was on his father and deeply respected him for everything he did.
during the son's senior year things got better. the father got a promotion and sizable raise which, along with the son's part time job, allowed them both to relax a bit and enjoy some extra free time. the sons spent his time with his girlfriend, while the father was finally able to re-enter a decent social life.
as a bit of time past, the son grew increasingly more smitten with his girlfriend, and the father was able to find a girlfriend of his own. by a bit of coincidence, the son never mentioned his girlfriend to his father, fearing he would somehow be insulted or feel depressed over his lack of a love life, and the father did not tell the son of his girlfriend, not wanting his son to get any possible false hopes of getting a new mother. eventually both relationships matured and both men began having thoughts of a future with their respective girlfriends.
one night over dinner the subject of girlfriends was brought up and they were both surprised to learn of the others good fortune. they decided that it would be fun to have a double date to meet each others girl. after asking their respective girlfriends if they would like to double date, the two men decided it would be best for everyone to meet at their home before going out. the son was first to bring his girl home to meet his father, and as the father's date was yet to arrive, they sat and chatted while they waited.
finally the father's date arrived and rang the doorbell. as the father went to answer the door, the son and his girlfriend stood together, waiting to be introduced. as the father opened the door and invited his date in, a single word, spoken by the son's girlfriend, brings us to the crux of this dilemma...
"mom!?!"
now, regardless of what position you put yourself in- be it the father, son, mother, or daughter- the question remains the same.
what would you do?
