Are there any official studies done on mothers who lie to their children about who their father is?

I am looking for any studies done on children who have been lied to by ... well mothers or fathers ... who have lied and actively tried to deceive their children about their parentage. ie - when a parent tells a child that their other parent is dead when they really aren't or when a mother remarried when the children are young and convinces the child that the new spouse is their real parent. I want to know about the impact of those lies and deceptions on the child.

    I didn't know who my real father was until I was nine. no, i don't think there is a study going on, but i, personally, think there should be.

    although, now, i have to admit, i kind of wish i didn't know who my biological father is. It made me feel abandoned. My mother gave my father a choice between his girlfriend or me, because she didn't want me around the crazy woman. He chose the mentally insane woman over me. So, i feel abandoned and i wish that i had been allowed to believe that my daddy was my father instead of that worthless abandoning piece of ****.

    I'm sorry, i had to get out.
