I feel torn between keeping this secret, and telling my husband, the father of two girls. I struggle with the idea that we "protect our boys" from difficult facts because they are too sensitive to handle it?? This power will help them stay out of bad situations before they start, get out of bad situations they’re already in, and/or recover more effectively from bad situations they don’t or can’t prevent or escape. Now: None of this is an argument for you to tell your husband, because your mother-in-law’s story is hers to tell. No matter what good you can see in doing so, it’s not a matter of telling or not telling your husband.
