See and my perspective is completely different: the relationship between parent and child is their own. When my son asked me not to tell his dad what was going on with him medically, it was difficult for me to honor that; there was a lot of agonizing over it, but honor his wishes I did. He was over 21, and his relationship with his dad was his to figure out. I will say, the knowledge that my exh's "helping" always made things exponentially worse for my son did make it easier to honor his request for confidentiality.
