My son's father and I have been divorced for 6 years. Our son (13) has been having some issues with mental health, and my ex and I are generally very good about communicating how our son is doing mentally when he's in the other's custody. Additionally, our son is being bullied pretty badly, and my ex and I talk a lot about that as well.

My son recently revealed to me that he is gay. I have not told his father because I don't want to betray my son's trust, even though my ex and I have a policy about being totally open regarding our son. AITA for not telling him?
