Original

It’s very embarassed to mention this question it’s because the treat the liar is my mom. She didn’t tell me she already got divorced three months ago. Last week I went to her house I found that there’s no more stuff of his husband then I asked her what happened then he she told me she already got divorced. I think the reason she lied me is that she just don’t want me to worry about. so this is a kind of white lying.

It’s very embarrassing to mention this question because the liar is my mom. She didn’t tell me she already got divorced three months ago. Last week I went to her house I found that her husband’s stuff is not there anymore OR is no longer there.  I asked her what happened then she told me she already got divorced. I think the reason she lied me is that she just didn’t want me to worry about her/it. so this is a kind of white lie.

I’m not entirely sure about defining what a white lie is, but from the top of my head I can say they always  come from your very close friends who know you very well or from your parents because they care about your thinking and emotions  and they just want you to be happy. They just tell those white lies to let you to stay in a good mood.
