I have a 7 year old boy who recently started asking about his real dad. How do i tell both him and my son?

Just be real with your son, and don't lie to him. Tell him the truth no matter how hard, just put it in his words so he will understand. I don't know the situation with his dad but that is the conversation you should be worried about and it certainly should not be done over FACE BOOK! Call the guy! He will likely be mad but when you show him a picture his attitude will change hopefully. You have created a problem for yourself here that could have a domino effect on both sides be careful. This guy could have a family of his own be married with kids and this kind of stuff can kill relationships. Please be respectful, and be prepared for the worst. If you have to you may have tell your son the worst, but don't lie. This is not his fault. Secrets are not good.
