    I've not been in your situation, but why does your DH have to tell her? Can you work out together what you want to say and sit her down together and tell her.

    Maybe:

    Remember, when X used to visit? Well Mummy and X used to be a couple. Then we broke up.You were made with him and mummy before we broke up.

    Dh is your dad because he loves you and raises you. But genetically, he's not. Mummy and DH met after you were born.


    I'm sure someone else can help with the exact words. She'll just need to know he loves her as she is, which I'm sure he does
