What should I do if my husband harasses my daughter!

Patient's question:

I am married for the second time with a daughter, and my husband is a first-time married man. We've been married for six years now. My daughter is 15. I feel lonely when I sleep alone, but whenever she joins us for a nap, my husband insists on having sex. The other day, he did it again, and while we were doing it, he secretly touched my daughter's private area. I knew she was pretending to sleep, but when I confronted him, he said it was just to enhance the mood and that he didn't penetrate her. Is this okay? Are there others in similar situations?

Doctor's answer:

I'm happy to explain your question. According to your description, your situation is not allowed. Who would allow this kind of situation? This is clearly sexual harassment of your daughter. You should have your daughter sleep in a separate bed, and she should also understand the difference between males and females. Although he is your father, he is still a stepfather. Your daughter might have a vague sense of affection towards him because she is in her adolescence, but you cannot let it develop further. This is in line with moral and ethical standards.
