Telling your children you were married before...

[mlktwins]

So...if you were married and divorced (no children) and you remarried and had children, what age (if ever) would/did you tell your children you were married before?

 

If you did tell them, how did they react?

I don't know but definitely tell them.  My sister tried to keep a young/no children marriage from her kids....all it did was cause chaos later in life when a mean spirited in law told the kids.

 

It should just be a matter of fact conversation...maybe when they are 10 or 12 when you are talking about life choices or divorce or whatever.

[Laura Corin]

It came up in conversation at some point.  They were quite young.  No big deal. No particular reaction.

Hmm...my DH and I need to have this conversation. He was married for 2.5 years. No kids. I wouldn't put it past his ex to say something to the kids if we were to run into her. (Which isn't likely.) At any rate, we haven't told them yet, and oldest is 11.

[Suzanne in ABQ]

I don't remember it ever being a big deal.  ExDh rarely comes up in conversation, but the kids know about him.  I usually refer to him as "the guy I used to be married to".  Dh refers to him as "Him".  I've been divorced since 1989, though, so it's ancient history.  Not really relevant, except in conversations about the problems with marrying too young, or marrying for the wrong reasons.

 

[mlktwins]

I did yesterday.  They are almost 12.  The one I thought might be upset, is not upset.  The one I thought would take it fine is disappointed :confused1: .  I think I'm a little sad and hurt, but am not saying anything.  It just seemed to flow with what we were talking about.  I told them that I had to go through that to get to their dad and to have them!

 

I asked him if he would rather have found out when he was older?  I have pictures from that wedding somewhere because my mom is in the pictures and she passed away.  I will never get rid of those pictures with her in them!

 

I had talked to my DH already and we decided I would tell them when the time was right. 

 

My mom didn't tell me until I was about 15 (along with the fact that my sister was my half-sister).  I don't remember being upset or looking at her in a bad way.  I remember it explaining a lot about why my sister and I were so different :lol: !!

 

I don't have anyone to ask about this IRL, so thank you for any responses.

So...I was at a store with my boys over a year ago.  There HE was, sitting at a desk and talking on the phone.  I about DIED!!!  I left so fast and I had finished telling my boys we would be there awhile so they just needed to behave and deal with it -- LOL.  They were so confused when we left after about 3 minutes.

 

He lives around here so I knew I wanted to tell them sooner rather than later.  Most of my friends don't know him, but know about him.  My best friend knows him though.

Kids are so funny.  An almost 12 year old is 'disappointed' because his mom was married before?   Don't let that hurt your feelings.  They have to learn sooner or later we aren't perfect or that we went through things we would rather not have gone through.

[Hypatia.]

I had a 4 year "starter marriage" (no joint property, no kids, no regrets with ending it) before I met DH. I told DS1 about a year ago, he was 11. We were talking about marriage and life choices while we were in the car and he said "so basically, don't get married when you're 20 years old and in college and don't know what you want yet". That was the perfect opening and I told him that yes, that was a good idea and I had done exactly that. He was surprised and curious, but didn't have a strong reaction about it. I haven't mentioned it to my other kids yet. It's not something I'm trying to hide, it just hasn't been relevant yet.

 

I think my brother was an adult before his mom told him she had been married previously. Her ex (a repairman) happened to be the one out fixing the AC and after he left, she told my brother "That guy that just left? Yeah, we used to be married."

They will need a little time to process this new information.  It doesn't fit neatly into their world, but that doesn't mean that their first reaction will be their last.  The one who seemed disappointed might just have been quicker to realize the ramifications of this new information.  The one who seemed to take it well might come back later with questions.  Just keep the conversation open, and light.  

 

 

These days, they won't have to look far to find other kids whose parents either were or are divorced.  Allow them to seek out those opportunities to converse with those kids.  

[JustEm]

Hmm, I haven't thought about it. Dh was married for about 2 years before they started divorce proceedings, no children. She doesn't live in the area as far as I know. I think her family is still semi local. We have certainly talked about her in front of the kids but I don't think they know dh was married to her. I can't really imagine it mattering much.

[Garga]

I think they should know all along...like from 5 on up.  

 

My dad was married before and had another daughter.  Only he didn't.  

 

My dad's girlfriend got pregnant so he married her.  But the baby was born 9 months after my dad had been away at sea in the navy.  So it wasn't his baby.  They stayed married for a little longer, but he divorced her because of her manipulative ways.  He never had contact with the baby after that.

 

His ex-wife told her daughter that my dad was her dad.  When she turned 16 and I was about 11, she called him asking him why he was never there for her.  He had to say that she wasn't his daughter and her mother had been lying.  But of course, she thought he was the one lying.

 

I guess he could have been the one lying to me and he really did abandon his daughter, but that doesn't jive with how he lives the rest of his life.  

 

Anyway, I think it should just be a known thing that is never "revealed" in some serious conversation.  I'd just drop comments about it all along during the child's life so that it just becomes common knowledge and there's no drama in some big reveal.

Each of my parents was married before. My mom, no kids. My dad adopted his stepson from that marriage but we never saw him after I was about age 4. There are pictures of him in the photo albums.

 

I don't remember when and how they told me about each but I don't remember a time when I didn't know.

 

My dad's son from his first marriage named his son after my dad so there must have been a time they were close but unfortunately they had not had contact in many years when we heard of his untimely death. Morbidly the only reason we heard about it is that his death made the national wires as a "funny and weird" type short story. Our last name is so uncommon, and was part of why the story was considered "funny" so that I knew it had to be him as soon as I heard about it. I wish my dad had reached out to reestablish contact sooner, but there was a lot of bitterness there on both sides.

 

I've never met either of my parent's first spouses and it doesn't seem like a big deal. The only thing that bothers me is that regardless of how hard things were with maintaining a relationship with his older son, my dad was the adult. The boy was 16-17 at the time of the divorce. They fell out of contact around the time he was 19. I guess part of me finds it unsettling that my dad could walk away from his child like that. His first marriage was over a decade long and he raised this boy since he was a preschooler. And then to not have any relationship for three decades? That's way more upsetting than the fact that he was previously married.

My kids know dh was married in college it was no big deal, did not bother them. It did lead to some good conversations of marrying young and considering waiting until after college to marry.

[DawnM]

My mother was married before she married my dad.  Married for not even 2 years.  No kids.

 

My mom told me when I was about 9 or 10 from what I can remember.  

 

What she did not tell me??????  Oy, I had to find out.

 

So, I knew his name and found his obituary about 3 years ago.  It lists his wife and kids (he has a kid named Dawn too, how weird is that?).....and then it said, "Proceeded in death by son SAME NAME and year of death."

 

I went over to find a grave.com and found the son named.  He died at age 25, and it gave birth and death years.  I freaked because I realized that when this kid was conceived, it was likely my mother was still married to him and I wondered if there was some brother she never told me about.

 

Well, last year, I asked an aunt who told me the whole sorted story.  Apparently this ExDH had an affair and got another woman pregnant, which is a huge reason they divorced.    SHEESH Mom, you could have told me!   For over a year I tried to find everything I could about this dead possible brother of mine.

My dad was married before my mom.  The marriage was annulled a couple years later.  He left to serve a tour of duty and she left him for another man.  They didn't have any children and never spent much time as a married couple.  I found out in middle school when my mom told me.  It was a surprise but I was glad that they told me.  My brother wasn't told and found out at school.  We lived in a small town where there aren't really any secrets.  My brother was devastated when he found out.  I think the biggest issue to him was that he was told by someone else rather than by my dad.  It made things a bit rough for a while at home.  I really think that it is something that is best to find out from your parents rather than through the grapevine.

[Tanaqui]

I found out my father had had a first marriage after he died. According to his obituary, the Rolling Stones played at his wedding. I asked my mom, turns out this is true but that wasn't her wedding, it was the other one. So as shocking events go, that was a twofer.

 

If it hadn't been for that small detail, I doubt I'd've ever found out. I have no half-siblings, so it's not really very important to know.

[The Girls' Mom]

I'm really not trying to be snarky or anything, but how does this not ever come up?  I can't imagine not ever talking about a chunk of time out of my life with my kids?  I wonder if we talk more than other families?  My kids know about prior boyfriends and girlfriends.  I knew about my step-dad's first wife (no kids) for as long as I can remember.  I was 5 when he married my mom.  It just comes out of talking about our past.

My husband and I had both had "mistake marriages" long before we met.  Brief, no kids, no lasting damage.

 

We told our kids when they were maybe 11 and 12.  Not sure exactly.  We knew we were going to tell them at some point, but it wasn't something that came up naturally in conversation, so it didn't happen any earlier in their lives. We didn't want to make it a huge deal to them.  No regrets on not telling them earlier.  

 

It all went as expected, with one more upset than the other.  What's funny to  me, though, is that the one who was less upset/interested at the time, mentioned it to me the other day, years after we first brought it up: "you and dad were both married to other people before, right?"  Again I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but asked her what made her think of it. She just shrugged it off.

DH and I weren't married before, but we were both in relationships that our kids don't know anything about.  

 

My father had a first marriage and a son that I didn't know about.  I found out accidentally when I was a teen and I was really upset about it.  He used to tease me by asking me what I would think if I found out he had been married before and had a child and I would just say things like, "don't be silly" because I had absolutely no idea.  Then I found out he actually did and it bothered me a lot - I felt foolish for thinking he was being silly and wished my parents had been honest with me about the situation.

We talk about various stages of our lives.  We don't go into detail about our past relationships, but it would be a bit odd to me if Husband didn't say when telling a story, 'The only time I had really bad poison ivy was when I was living in Connecticut.  My first wife and I had moved into a house there and I was clearing the yard,' or whatever.

That's what I was thinking, too.  How could one NOT bring this up ...

 

I eloped at 17yo, had a baby at 18yo, left him a week after ds was born, and spent the next 2 years getting divorced (a real mess).  My kids have always known about that.  And all 3 dd's had no memory of oldest ds because they either weren't born or were too small to remember ds before he left.  None of them have ever met ds's father or relatives.  But I talked about that period of my life off and on, especially as we studied our Bibles.  If anything, I think my kids would love to actually see some of them just because they've heard so much about them over the years.

I don't see why it would matter. The time doesn't disappear, just the person.

 

I don't talk about my exh. I left for a reason and no longer want him in my life. I don't care if my kids find out but it won't be dh or me that tells them.

[mamaraby]

As an adult whose mom told us the "big secret" when we were older, I just remember it being weird. I mean, obviously she had both wedding dresses hanging in the basement so why that never dawned on me before the point they told us is a mystery to me. And it wasn't that it was a big issue for me or my sisters, just that it was such a big secret of the big thing that was probably going to send her to h*ll and so it was like Voldemort - it that must not be named. I would have preferred they had said something more matter of factly and earlier so that it was the non-issue that it really was. On the other hand, it did finally make sense why mom was always crying in church when the pastor preached about divorce.

 

The guy ended up showing up at the visitation when my mom's dad died and then it was another big hush, hush secret that we only knew about because we heard the whispers. Oh, that's "the big scary secret." I much would have preferred they just came out and introduced us to him like they would have any other person they knew.

 

My mom always felt so guilty about having been married and divorced. Her anxiety and guilt then kind of flowed down on us. I remember feeling somewhat freaked out about marrying someone and then making the wrong decision (and then being stuck married for life to the wrong one because divorce was so wrong and such a big deal) when dh and I got engaged. It would have made it way less high pressure if they had just modeled the matter of fact, hey well all make mistakes, thing that sometimes happens to adults.

My first marriage was a tiny chunk of my life - only 3  years.  I have no happy memories associated with it.  Nothing happened during that time that would ever come up in conversation.  No, "oh, yeah, I've been to Hawaii; it was in 1983, my honeymoon with my first husband."  (We had a honeymoon, but it wasn't in an interesting place or even anyplace they'd have heard of.)   It didn't come up naturally because there was nothing to say.  Of course we talk to our kids about our lives (!), but some parts are not so great to talk about.  When they were little I didn't tell them about the couple of years I drank heavily and hung out in bars all the time either.  Now, as older teens/young adults I talk about stuff more, but little kids don't need to know everything about their parents. 

 

Have you or your husband been married before?  IIRC from previous threads, I'm thinking that you were both quite young when you married and neither were married before?   Talking about an ex-spouse is kind of different than talking about old boyfriends and such.  (I too am not trying to be snarky; also my apologies if I have you mixed up with someone else.)

do tell.  it was a shock to my then elderly aunt (my father's half sister) to learn her father had been married for 20 YEARS (and divorced) before he married her mother.

 

I found out when doing genealogy research . . . .

[Liz CA]

I would tell. Age appropriately, of course. They may be surprised and have a few questions but then it will subside.

We live in an age where hardly anything can be kept private anymore. It is so much easier to tell them when they are young. Also, there is a much larger component in this. Lies. They may well perceive that you lied by omission regardless of how you view it. This can put a chink in the trust our kids place in us.

My mother lied to me about my father and it had almost irreversible consequences. I am saying "almost" because now I know why she did it (fear, of course and perhaps embarrassment) and I do not resent it anymore but we lost years of closeness and trust because I was a very angry teenager whose mother had told lies and could not be trusted - in my view.

 

It's worth the little surprise right now so twenty years from now it's old news.

You are right, we did marry young.  I hope my questions were taken in the spirit intended.  I honestly wondered.  We have some pretty ugly things in our past, but they still have come up...although I've not shared the worst details with the kids, and some of the harder stuff didn't really get explained until they were more mature.  It is kind of hard to avoid talking about grandparents and/or childhoods. So I can understand, I'm just surprised I guess.

I agree; the earlier the better.  My oldest daughter has a different dad--different details, but similar situation.  My current husband and I met when she was 5 months, so he's the only dad she's ever known.  Her first dad was never a part of her life, but I always found ways to drop "your birthdad" into the conversation from the time she was a toddler.  It was never a big deal.  I would also make a point of mentioning how, "Your sister had a different dad when she was born but your dad became her dad when she was still a baby."  The only one who may be confused one day is the youngest.  Meghan had already moved out for college when she was born, so there was never an opportunity to mention it. 

 

I think having an earlier husband would be easier to explain than having a sibling with a different dad, so I vote just to casually drop it into conversation.  In my experience, keeping things casual robs the event of its significance and makes things easier on everyone.

[StephanieZ]

I made sure it was always public knowledge.

 

Mom made an oopsie by marrying an oopsie. It lasted 3 months. A bit later, Mom married a keeper -- that'd be Dad. Yay!

 

Sometimes people, even your brilliant mom, make bad decisions. Sometimes they're fortunate enough to be able to un-do them without a lot of damage to anyone. Yay!

 

I intentionally mentioned it casually at least once a year for my entire kids' lives. Sometimes it was a 30 second conversation, sometimes 5 minutes. It was always normal, if unfortunate and a little embarrassing. 

 

Works for me.

I found out when I was 12 that my mom had been married before. He called our home, scared me, then it scared my mom when I told her. She told us she had been briefly married before our dad but that guy became violent after the marriage. I have never thought my mom was wrong for marrying or for keeping it from us. It honestly had zero to do with me. It only made me think my mom was even more awesome than I thought because she went through that and came out okay.

[Mergath]

My dh had a quickie year-long marriage in his early twenties that ended with no kids and no entanglements of any kind. Dd knows about it and it's never been a big deal. I think it's better to be open about that kind of thing from the start instead of dropping a bomb on them when they're older. I found out in my teens that my father had a marriage before he was with my mom, and that he and his first wife also had a child they put up for adoption before they split. They weren't ever planning on telling me, but I found a picture of the baby in a box in my mom's room. It was not a good way to find out. Even though it wouldn't have changed anything in my life at the time, I was pissed for a while that no one ever told me. Then, a year or so later, my half-sister located my dad and wanted to meet us. It was awkward having to tell her when she asked that I wasn't even aware she existed until a year before.

 

Honestly is always the better option, I think. Even with difficult subjects.

[SeaConquest]

It came up in conversation at some point. They were quite young. No big deal. No particular reaction.

Yes, this.

[Carrie12345]

I can't say how I would have handled it without "first" kids, but I'm glad I never had a reason for any sort of "reveal".  I never married ds's father, but the rest of my kids have spent their whole lives with their brother going back and forth, spending time with his dad's family at ball games and performances.  They don't know any different.  They've never even asked me about our (young, relatively short) relationship or break up, because they've seen and heard for themselves what a moron he can be.  :lol:

[Scarlett]

This thread makes it clear that all families have past events. It seems to always be better if those events are told as a normal part of a family's history instead of locked down in secrecy and shame.

 

When I met my half sister for the first time she was 11 and I was 15. She had no idea until the day before that I existed. And then that side of the family spent the next 28 years actively keeping us apart when we tried to find each other. She loves our bio dad but she really resents him for that.

 

I think especially when a sibling is involved people just have no right to keep such info from other siblings.

 

My XMIL has been secretive her entire life. She had a first marriage and a child and then they divorced even before the baby was born. Last week I found the child's half sisters on FB. They knew about him but it was a secret type thing when they were growing up....they all missed out on each other. Very sad.

This.  I was...10?  11?  When I found out that both my parents were married/divorced before they met each other.  7 years for my mom, iirc.  I think I would have never know had I not found a softball mitt of hers with a random last name on it.  It was a shock.  No one ever lied to me; when I asked, she was honest.  It just was never mentioned until I made that discovery and asked a question.  I knew their work history from that time period; the past marriages just happened to be conveniently left out.

 

Of course, I also have skeletons that I haven't explicitly exposed yet (not marriage-related).  I've made general comments about that time of my life, though, when the opportunity arose.  It's a layered thing.  I'm still sorting out how to combat the, "well you're fine, so why can't I <do insanely stupid things>?" argument.

I haven't mentioned it to my other kids yet. It's not something I'm trying to hide, it just hasn't been relevant yet.

 

I think my brother was an adult before his mom told him she had been married previously. Her ex (a repairman) happened to be the one out fixing the AC and after he left, she told my brother "That guy that just left? Yeah, we used to be married." 

 

Ha! I got married when I was 20 years old and still in college. We just celebrated our 32nd anniversary.

I was married at 19 and we will be married 30 years next month.  Never regretted it for a second.

I was 17.5 when I got married. This summer will be 20 yrs. I usually have to follow this info up with, "No, I wasn't pregnant and No, I wasn't running from a bad home life."  :lol:
