Daniel asked me, last night, why i was mad at him when he wasn't being truthful. i was tempted to say: "your father was not being truthful to me when he married me. he hid so many things - important things - and that hurt me a lot. it hurt a lot when someone we love was being untruthful (is there such a word?). and it hurt me too when you're not being honest."
so i told him - except the part about his father. basically he knows the old man was being dishonest when he left us. so i don't see any needs to tell him what he already know.
i told him being dishonest hurt people a lot. when he lied to me, something happened to my heart that sorta breaks it. it hurt me real deep. i reiterate, you dont hurt the people you love by being untruthful. you gotta respect them, by telling the truth. once you lie, you lose yourself. you will continue to lie on the lies you made, until you can't tell the difference. and there'll be more heart broken by the lies you made. and it will make you suffer cos you never meant to hurt them in the first place. lies hurt.
he hugged me and whispered: "i'm sorry, mama.."
i hope he'll take my words deep in his heart and let it seep into his being..
