I found out that my dad was married before he married my mom. It upsets me because I found out accidentally. I feel like I'm being lied to.
Should I confront him?
-Sad And Confused
Dear Sad And Confused,
Although this news must have been a shock, I doubt your dad meant to lie to you. He may have kept his past under wraps because he didn't want to upset you or didn't know when to bring it up.
If you have a close relationship with him or your mom, consider asking about the divorce instead of sitting on the secret. Don't accuse them of a cover-up. Tell them that you are feeling sad and confused and listen to what they tell you.
