[quote=Anonymous]Truth. If her questions are answered in an age-appropriate way from the time she begins to ask them, that will be her truth, and while not necessarily easy, it won't be a shocking, identity-shaking type of thing to discover later. She's going to trust you for all kinds of truth and support as she grows up, and you need to be ready. It will be OK if you're honest and there for her. Age-appropriate answers as the key - and not loading her down with information she doesn't ask for or isn't ready for. And just because HE doesn't want certain people to know does not mean he gets to decide. Of course he doesn't want anyone else to know. Tough for him! You're raising the baby, and you have a right to tell her the truth, and she has a right to know it. Not up to him. No question. And I hope he's at least supporting her financially. What's done is done, and your mistakes and all of that are in the past. What's best for her is what's important now. Good luck![/quote]
