DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE just found out that my husband has another wife and has two children with her, a girl aged three and a one-year-old boy.
Polygamy is accepted in our culture and I have to accept it, though I am very hurt.

I am 38, my husband is 45 and our children are a boy aged 11 and a girl of 13.
My husband had always said ours was a love match and we would be faithful to one another.
But he makes regular trips back to our home country, to see his parents he said, and a cousin of his messaged me saying she thought I ought to know he has another family over there.
How do I tell my children?
DEIDRE SAYS: The first move has to be to talk to your husband. Say you need the truth. Does he have this other family?
If so, it’s his responsibility to explain to your children together about your culture and his decision to start another family
But it’s best you’re there to be sure your kids get a clear picture and all their questions are answered.
