i have a tricky situation here folks. i have 5 kids from a previous marriage. ages 6-10. the youngest is a set of twins. and that is where i am having the problem. they havent seen their sperm donor since they were 5 months old. they think my hubby now is there dad. the older 3 know who there dad is but have not seen him in almost 6 years. they think that my hubby is the twins' dad also.we never told them that they just assumed i guess. im not really sure how that came about. my little guy started asking questions today about stepdads and such. and wanted to know who "dewayne" is. (sperm donor) i dont want to tell them, it would shatter my little guy to know that my hubby is not his bio. dad. they are so close. he is adopting all the kids anyways."dewayne" is a horrible person. he almost killed me. in front of one of our children and the twins-they were to young to remember.the other 3 are in counsiling still!--dealing with it. they are all finally in a good place. is this a subject i should bring up with them? or should i let it go? i know what it will do to them and i want to save my babies from having to go through all the emotional turmoil that i can. i dont feel right lying to them about it. so i changed the subject. i know that will only work for so long. so now what?
