Do I tell my 4 year old I'm not her real Dad??
I found out prior to my divorce that our youngest child is not my biological child. The problem I have is that she only knows me as her daddy and her bio dad is not involved with her other than paying support. He doesn't pick her up and she has never met his family. I continue to pick her up on weekends when I have visitation per the decree. My mother insists I'm causing more damage by not telling the girls the truth and I'm depriving my daughter of one on one time by picking up the youngest child. The girls are 4 and 7. For the first two years of her life I thought the youngest was mine and I have a strong bond with her. My ex fears if I tell the girls the truth, my child will not want the youngest to come since I'm not really her dad. She doesn't want a rift to develop between them. I fear for my child and for the youngest child's well being and want to do what is best for both of them. What ever in the world should I do?? Please help.
