No, because it's not my information to share.
Me personally, a lie by omission is still a lie

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Sounds like your hypothetical son should be on guard around you tbh.
A lie by omission is when you only tell part of something and leave out a relevant piece of information that changes the context of the rest of it.
No saying anything is not that.
Don't spread other people's business around.
I think that is your son's decision and it should be respected, even if you disagree with it.
Should it ever become public, your family should also understand that you were respecting your son's decisions.
Is this about your cousin again? Why does it bother you so much that nobody told you about his success?
Personally, if my son owned a business and became a millionaire, I would feel like I'm bragging about it every time I mentioned it. Although I do enjoy bragging about my son, I wouldn't want a relative telling me how much more successful my cousin was compared to me. I wouldn't want to be that person.
You said you rarely talk to these people, so why would you expect them to go out of their way to tell you any of these things? Have you told all of them about all of your accomplishments?
Sounds like a recipe for familial homicide.
I don't have any other family members aside from my mother. I don't have a son either...
