Tressa Middleton: A look at ‘Britain’s youngest mom’ today

Just three days later, her mother passed away from pneumonia at the age of 41.

Her mother’s tragic passing led to the fact that she unexpectedly came face to face with her rapist brother, Jason, for the first time in four years.

The meeting occurred during their mother’s funeral. Jason, who had served a prison sentence for the horrific crime he committed against Tressa, helped carry their mother’s coffin. Though they kept their distance and avoided making eye contact, both siblings were visibly emotional, crying during the somber moment.

Despite the painful past, Tressa found it within herself to forgive him. She reflected, ”I didn’t feel any hatred towards him. I know what he did was wrong, and so does he. But my mum wouldn’t want it to ruin our lives. She can rest in peace knowing we’re moving on. I forgive him.”

As mentioned, Tressa was compelled to give up her first daughter for adoption when she was two years old. However, in her 2015 book, she revealed that she has never stopped thinking about her.

“She’s still the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing at night,” Tressa said.

The memories of their final meeting, when her daughter was three, continue to haunt Tressa. She recalled, ”I didn’t realize it would be the last time I’d see her. She didn’t recognize me, and she was scared. I couldn’t even hug her.”
