[SIZE="a"]is it wrong to say both my parents passed away when I was young? My mother really did pass away when I was a child but now that I'm a single young adult in my mid twenties and i relocated to a new place, I'm being asked all kinds of questions about my past. I am in no contact with my father and I would rather not mention my relationship at all but it does come up and I feel like just saying he died would protect my privacy.

I'm looking at it from a moral perspective of like, being dishonest as well as the whole if you pretend something it can come true and he is still a human being. I wouldn't want to accelerate the day he truly does die. Plus if he actually does die then I won't be able to tell anyone unless I take the lie further and say he was my adopted father or some other story.[/size]
