my husband told my teenage son

Dear Diane,
I have had a horrible week and I am angry and upset. My teenage daughter told me on Monday night
that she knows about my "past". Very few people know about the abortion I had 27 years ago. My mom, sisters, and
husband. After promising I wouldn't tell the person I knew, she told me that my husband told my son(age 19) and he told
her. I am very angry at my husband because he had NO RIGHT to share my personal business. I never wanted the children to
know. I cried and she cried as I told her the details. Then she confessed to me that she is not a virgin and that she
made a big mistake. Thank God she did not get pregnant. I am upset that the two kids know, that she had sex (17) and
that my husband betrayed my trust. I have gone through years and years of trying to forgive myself (I know God forgives
me) and I am a wreck trying to deal with this. I have no one to talk to. I haven't talked to my husband (he'll be home
this weekend), but if I do he will yell at the 19 year old who will blame the 17 year old, etc. He never admits when he
is wrong. How do I deal with this new stuff?? The pain is washing over me like a tidal wave. PS I have 4 other children
that do not know and I want to keep it that way. Any advice? Tori
