oh wow thats a hard one, I think it depends on how mature the child was and if they would have an understanding in what is going on,,

Ya, I know the child has to be mature enough to understand the situation. The problem is, what if he coms to know through other sources? He can interpret it in the wrong way. The problem is, I do not want him to blame his father for what his mother did.

i think he should be told very soon so that he could accept it very soon in his child hood because in child hood we can set in his mind but afterwards it's become very difficult for him or her to accept it

The child is just 3 years. He will not be able to grasp the situation.
