Q: how do i tell my daughter that DH is not her bio dad ??

This may be the wrong place to ask this question, it is totally unrelated to pregnancy but i dont know where else to ask. i really need advice. My daughter is 6 years old, and from the time she was born my DH had been her "Daddy". her real father was out of the picture shortly after i got pregnant and never wanted anything to do with her. shes a happy kid, absolutely loves her "dad" and my heart is breaking when i think about telling her the difference. I had originally planned on never telling her, but im afraid some family members will let it slip when shes older, and cause alot of pain. should i tell her soon ? how? should want until shes old enough to understand better and ask questions ?? also, i havnt yet mentioned to my DH what im feeling. as far as he knows, she will never be told the difference and i dont think he will handle it well. any advice ?? this is so hard.

Oh, and I just wanted to add to my post (right below) that the only reason my mom finally told me at 13 was because other family members let it slip, so she was forced to. Knowing that made it even worse, just the thought that she was probably planning to lie to me my whole life. This is your daughter's life and she deserves to know the truth. Please think about this and do the right thing.
