[quote=Anonymous]I've been thinking about this a lot since I read the OP. Here are my thoughts...and for what it's worth, I have teenage and college-aged kids. Kids see themselves as a part of their parents. People who work with kids see it in divorced families all the time. When one parent disparages the other, the kids make assumptions like "well, if daddy is bad than I must be bad too". I know I'm rambling. But my point is, your child could assume that if her daddy is a horrible rapist, then she is somehow "bad" as well. As adults, we know that's ridiculous. However, kids and teens don't think the same way we do. You don't know for sure whether or not there was a rape. I would simply tell your child that you were not provided information about her birth father. [/quote]
