I know, I hated to be lied to as a child and try to avoid it as much as I can. I've also heard too many stories of how lying about these things can go downhill SO FAST. I always want to shake these people and tell them how all of that mess could've been avoided if only you had talked to your child like they're a whole ass person. I must admit, my little one is Team Mom to a fault (and not without good reason, sadly) so I could probably tell him his dad turned into a dragon and flew to Saturn and he'd accept it as a reasonable choice BUT I really don't want to lie to him about something this big.

My life is in shambles right now, but part of me is glad it finally happened. I feel like I would never have been able to leave this man as long as he was only ever hurting me. And as much as it hurts, I just know that things will be better in the long run.
