It's a perfectly reasonable response under the circumstances. I know that my own D&D games didn't miss a session because of what my father did. I never directly lied to him about it... He never brought it up again. If he'd asked me, I wouldn't have lie about it. I think he knew but went into denial after that. I don't see as I have anything to lie about--I'm not doing anything wrong, so if I lied about it, that'd reinforce the idea that it is something to be ashamed of. Hell with that. I just stopped doing it in his house and that was it.For what it's worth, I wasn't allowed to date whatsoever or attend parties or any type of gathering without his direct supervision. I managed to get around entirely under the radar. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I didn't ever really lie, I just learned to be exceedingly subtle and have a poker face. I never gave him a reason to think I was up to something.</blockquote>
