Recently separated from my husband and we may be considering a trial separation. When we first met, a few dates in he told me that his ex girlfriend was pregnant with his child, I said I would support him, however, as time went on he described her as mentally unstable, psychotic, bunny boiler and said for his own and our safety he would have nothing to do with her, he also stated that she tricked him into getting pregnant.
The child would be a teenager now and ex has paid child support since birth, he’s not on the birth certificate. He even said at the beginning that the child might not be his but since stated it is. His child was a forbidden topic in the house, I didn’t agree with his choice to never meet or try to see his child and our own children do not know of their half sibling.
My parents are aware of the issues in our marriage and how I was treated but my question is - should I drop the bombshell or keep quiet? In telling them it would paint a bigger picture of why I left but it also may finish them off! They are elderly and already stressed and very upset with the fact that I’m separated.
Also ex recently said that he thinks his child might be trying to get in touch with him via facebook.
