Her children's Spanish names are beautiful, she herself is very attractive and speaks Spanish half-way decently - as she seems to just really enjoy Spanish culture as a Yankee American, why not just say it? There is nothing wrong, whatsoever, in having your children be bi-lingual, as the Spanish language is truly beautiful - why not just say that she wanted her children to be able to speak the language that she fell in love with as an American, and just leave it at that?
Now, of course, not sure if Alec would have been interested in an American girl from Boston, but if her looks were enough to attract him and have him ask her out, why couldn't she just be herself and let it go from there? It must be exhausting to keep up this charade...I don't know how she's done it for 8 years, no wonder the fake accent comes and goes.
In the long run this is probably the best thing that has ever happened to her, and her relationship to Alec, and her relationship to the truth and who she really is. I would think it would be soul-crushing to pretend that you are something you are not, with the caveat being, of course, that if she really believes what she's saying, and has denied and negated her true identity as a white girl who grew up in Boston, then this situation has an entirely different meaning and solution.
This is a Rachel Dolezal situation and Rachel seems to have gone on with her life. Her life wasn’t ruined by her blatant lies.
It WOULD be a good thing if Hilary and Alec owned what they've done. But they are doing the opposite. This will destroy both of them .
