For me the right thing to do was to tell them the truth. However D15 already knew 99% of everything before I did and D12 was told by her mom she didn’t love me anymore and we were getting a divorce before I found out anything too. So in my sitch it was just a matter of time before everyone knew the truth anyway and it was important to me not to be a liar in my kids eyes. Also having to remember exactly what I said when it wouldn’t have been true would have been exhausting for me. I don’t have to “remember “ the truth because the truth is the truth and I can’t fudge what I said 2 weeks ago because I didn’t make up the truth. Also I wasn’t taking any of the blame for something I didn’t want and didn’t do. However that was just for my sitch.
