I have a young (preschool) daughter and I am on the fence about discussing something with her.
I'm previously married, we had no kids and she now lives in another country. It was a super clean break and we are on good terms.
I'm unsure about discussing my previous life with my daughter. Some people close to me think that because it's well in my past - I almost never see my ex and she's not an active part in my life - that there is no point talking about it.
My ex is not someone I talk, or think, about very much at all, so I get that it could be seen as irrelevant. Therefore, it's hardly any effort to keep quiet on the matter. However, I worry that if she isn't told and then finds out when she's older, that this family 'secret' was kept from her, it could be upsetting for her and affect our relationship.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has some experience with a similar situation, whether you're the parent who was previously married, or one of your parents had a previous significant relationship that you learned about at some time in your life...
Thanks!
