Truth is never a bad idea. sometimes the timign is more important. But 13, yeah it's a good thing. Besides...telling the truth eliminates the need to 'cover'. And adulthood is NEVER a good time to make these revelations. Hope it's working for you. (and if others disagree, so what. he's YOUR son)

metalchick i absolutely belive you did the right thing. your son deserves to know the truth.
besides i think lieing to them only hurts your relationship. I think our parents only want to protect them from being hurt. but to me hiding the truth can hurt more :)

No one really knows if it was right or not but your son. His feelings are the most important here. He is the one you should be talking to and asking his thoughts on the subject. If he is glad you told him then your lucky, if not then you have changed his life as he has known it and it is going to take some time for him to work through it. As a child it may have not been the best time. But, you are his mother and I hope and wish the best for both of you. Also a special hope and wish for the man that has been his father all his life. Blessings to all.

I believe lying to your child about something that important is never the right thing to do, so kudos to you for being honest with him! I would be so mad if my parents tried to lie to me about something like that. It will probably bring you closer together in the long run, though I'm sure he's upset and confused right now.
