[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think you need to speak your honesty from the start and not let your daughter control the narrative here. At some point you will realize that you have been going along with her misinformation and it will force a conflict down the road.

Start as you mean to go on.

I have been in a situation where a parent intentionally left out information with her kid, and even with neighbors and mutual friends, but those of us in the picture who knew the truth were constantly put in the position of either contradicting the parent publicly or going along with the lie by omission waiting for the parent to be the one to "have the conversation" with the kid. It's a terrible thing to do to people and lead to so many painful and awkward social situations.[/quote]

It’s a “terrible thing” to do. That is what you said.  Are you kidding?  What on earth? Is anyone thinking about the kid here?

To me, this shows how some adults think of themselves first.  Some get wrapped around the axil , “the narrative” during divorce or family conflict.
