This.

But also, it depends on your mom.  I have trusted my mom with things about DHs family that I was asked not to share but I needed someone with whom to talk.  I made clear that she had to pretend not to know once it became public (or to never have known if it never did).  I knew I could trust her to keep it quiet.

I would be hurt if, when grown, my DD didn't feel like she could confide in me and trust me to keep a secret.  I would be hurt if I were your mom in this particular situation.  I WOULD NEVER call you a bitch for what you did.  I'm sorry that happened to you.[/quote]

I too would hope my daughter would confide in me.  However if she were asked specifically not to, as in this situation, I would have to respect both the original person requesting privacy as well as my daughter's integrity being asked to maintain that.  My potential hurt feelings are #3 in line here.  I think it's wrong to share someone's private information with your mother just because you need to process it.  I think you owe it to the person requesting confidentiality to tell them you are not able to respect that.[/quote]
