Disclosure
“To allow the lies
to persist is giving the N credibility where it isn’t deserved. I haven’t gone
out of my way to approach people with my version of the truth, but I refuse to
lie when I’m asked about him. That would make me as despicable as he is.”
“Disclosure is a
personal decision, and a tough one to make. My personal opinion is that if you
can present your experience of the situation as just that, your experience, you
cant be condemned for it. It’s when you present the
information as THE TRUTH that you place yourself in a position to be judged.”
Telling Kids
“My kids know about their dad and I
have educated them. I encourage my clients to do the same. N hates the light
and exposure but with knowledge my kids know what to expect from their dad. My
personal belief (and I take full ownership of this) is that awareness is
painful but not as deadly as confusion.”
