Story 10:
Their daughter was six and always asking about her “real dad.” The mom told me never to mention he existed and to say the current stepdad was her only father. I felt awful. The kid was confused and clearly hurting.
I ended up telling the mom I couldn’t keep up the lie, and that was the end of my job. But, do I regret doing it? Absolutely not. I hate when parents lie to their kids. — Julie C
