I don't really want to ask any RL friends this so have popped back to ask you guys.
My children, mostly the boys (aged 5/9) ask about my family occasionally and I really don't know how to answer. My son asked me today if I was the last person in my family and I just looked at dh as I didn't know what to say. He answered yes.
I was brought up in care, my father didn't want me and my mother abandoned me once she met a new man. She has caused untold problems. upset and distress and I will not have anything to do with her. I really don't want my children to know anything about my childhood but if I lie now, even if for the right reasons, will it cause problems when they are older if they were ever to find out the truth?
