Have you ever lied/withheld something from someone close (say, to protect them) they never found out, and the dishonesty was worth it for you in the end? No regrets, you'd do it again and all? I just wonder how often (if ever) it works out that way...
Yes. It wasn’t my place as a young child in my home to tell my mother that I thought my father was cheating. I don’t know how I even knew what I was feeling. No regrets, even though it was a terribly heavy burden for me to carry. I felt cheated on/betrayed myself as a child too, tbh.
