Warning for toxic relationships and several failed marriages.
[name_f]Brienna[/name_f] [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] [Perigo] Dunlaw (30) is Skyâs mother, who has understood and accepted herself as a single mother. Her surname change wasnât from marriage, itâs actually changing from her fatherâs to her motherâs surname. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] herself isnât close to her own father given she believes his attention is mainly focusing on the other woman he married - his sixth wife. Some of Briennaâs friends make [name_u]Henry[/name_u] the 8th jokes about her father and she doesnât mind, in fact sheâs made some herself. She feels anyone who marries six times should be well prepared for those jokes. Granted, none of his wives are dead although [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] does find the marriages insane - especially since sheâs the daughter of his fourth wife!
Wife 1 was a woman that he married when they were both 18. This marriage lasted 4 years and didnât have any children, simply ending when they fell out of love. 3 years later, he married Wife 2 at 25. They thought being a little older would make it more stable but were wrong - it didnât last longer than 8 weeks! After 3 more years, he married Wife 3, which was lasting 6 years until he started falling for another woman. He painted Wife 3 as an annoying stalker so this other woman wouldnât blame him for the third failing marriage. [name_m]Just[/name_m] after he and Wife 3 divorced, it actually did seem like she was stalking him with her numerous phone calls in a short period of time that he wasnât answering. However she wasnât stalking her ex-husband, she actually had something important to tell him and was angered he was ignoring her. He moved on with the woman he was falling for and 3 years later, she became Wife 4 and Briennaâs mother. At 38, the two welcomed [name_f]Brienna[/name_f]. He was always busy and never had time for his wife and daughter. The marriage only lasted 2 years and Briennaâs mother, who was never told of his first two marriages, finding out on her own, got full custody. It was actually 16 years before he married again. Nobody wanted to be in a relationship with this man. He stopped focusing on marriages and went to dating. At 56, realising nobody local was interested in him, he looked for a foreign lover. He found a date with someone halfway around the world and questioned the hefty pay, but believed it was for travel expenses for her. What he didnât realise was that this wasnât a dating site but a mail-order bride site and he paid to marry this woman! While technically an accidental marriage, he decided to go along with it since he already spent the money, but he and Wife 5âs marriage quickly got annulled. Briennaâs father has since moved miles away to another county and married Wife 6 about a decade after he moved, but information about her is unknown and [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] doesnât know if the two are even still married or not.
[name_f]Brienna[/name_f] is unaware of what the other wives are doing and doesnât focus on them in her life, but sometimes she wonders what they were like married to her father. She often pities them, especially Wife 3. She was worried when she was told he cut her off and didnât let her say what she needed to tell him. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] was hoping the concern wasnât a serious terminal illness or some medical disaster like that, but sheâs done a quick search and is relieved the woman is alive and healthy. Sheâs very close with her mother and knows itâs not her fault that she married a man who canât keep a marriage - after all Briennaâs mother found out far too late about his history. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] felt really bad when she was a pregnant from a male co-worker whom she didnât know was having affairs against [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. However Briennaâs mother comforted her during this difficult time, never judged her, and has been a wonderful grandmother to [name_u]Sky[/name_u]. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] has made herself happier through [name_u]Sky[/name_u] and is free to discuss princesses whenever she wants. She loves Skyâs cute puffy dresses and she is so happy [name_u]Sky[/name_u] lives a good life despite only one active parent. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] doesnât discuss her baby daddy to [name_u]Sky[/name_u] given that the little girl is pleased just how she is. [name_u]Sky[/name_u] also doesnât know about the marriages Briennaâs father had, especially since [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] herself hardly knows the other women and her own mother doesnât like to talk about it. Sometimes [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] wonders if any of the other women had children of their own, regardless of who the father was, but mostly just hopes theyâre happy. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] loves seeing [name_f]Frida[/name_f] around and is grateful sheâs the best nanny she can be when she watches [name_u]Sky[/name_u]. [name_f]Brienna[/name_f] hopes [name_f]Frida[/name_f] isnât too stressed out by the Dunlaw past because she really loves seeing [name_f]Frida[/name_f] and knows sheâs a wonderful nanny. Plus [name_u]Sky[/name_u] has been getting a close bond once she got to know Fridaâs nearly-6-year-old daughter, who is another princess-loving girly cutie.
