Truth Hurts

Alright, here's the situation: a mother has to come up with a story to tell her child who her father is. Reason is because the father is either incarcerated, dead or the mother isn't sure who the actual father is. Now she randomly chooses one of her closest Guy friends to claim the title as "Daddy". The little girl grows up and this friend of the mother's is the only father figure in the child's life.

Why can't the parent tell the truth about her father? She figures by lying to her child was the best thing to do to keep her child happy and feel safe. Sooner or later the mother and her "guy friend " gets in an argument and it blows up in the child's face that her father isn't her real father. The child is now confused and the parent has to come clean then tell her child everything. However, this would've been avoided by telling the truth. Whether the child's real father was dead or alive, the truth would have been the best thing for her to know. Who cares if the child is too young to understand? Now her daughter will feel hatred and betrayed all because of not knowing the truth. As a result the child goes searching for her biological father. This is probably the worst thing mothers can do, because when the truth comes out, it will hurt. It's like taking a knife and stabbing your child in the back.

Its always someone else who can't handle the truth, when in reality its the person who started the long line of lies. My advice to my readers is to never live in denial. All things hidden in the dark will come to light and you will have to face the truth someday. So start NOW!
