All the lessons that their dad is teaching them, all the warped values, right now. I feel trapped. I can't tell the truth and I feel I have to continue to cover up for him because maybe ONE DAY he might deem me worthy enough to give it a second shot. So trapped.
I always worry about that too. But I think kids realize the role models they should follow. I do think that you don't want to trash talk their dad, but if asked a direct question, I don't think you should lie or cover up for him. I'm always truthful with my kids but try to be tactful. Karen
