Some secrets are kept from you out of respect for you.

There are times when people keep you at an arm’s lenght to protect you and to respect you. They may not be the kind of a person you think they are and they are acutely aware of that. Therefore, they keep you out of their lives. They may think you are naive, but they still consider you a nice enough person not to rub your face into your mistake.

Please if someone is keeping you at a distance, let them do it. Alternatively, if you know you’re the same way, let them know somehow, hint toward it but again, don’t assume they don’t understand a subttle hint, you may well be mistaken about what their “secret” might be.

Please know that children often think their parents are innocent and naive. Also notice that parenting types must sometimes give birth to sexual devients, criminals, and just non-conformists, as well… without parenting types, we’ll have no people. Not all “different” people come from broken homes,  and not all parenting types come from good ones.

Just allow some things to remain in the shadows to keep the peace… And remember it’s not a parents’ place to be their child’s friend. It sometimes happens, but sometimes it just won’t. That’s one of the risks you take when you become a parent. It may not be perfect after all your effort.
