AITA for not telling my student that he's a clone?


I (53F) am a spacecraft pilot instructor to the son (19M) of two of my very close friends who we'll call S (47M) and C (2032M). However because they're gay and different species and also because C is technically dead (long story, he tried to draft dodge 2k years ago by escaping in the middle of the night but there were vampires running around) they decided to just make a clone of S and raise it as their son. However because we (me, S, C and a few others) were partly responsible for the downfall and ongoing reconstruction of society after a massive revolution we're kind of well known. Because of this the son has been going through a bit of an identity crisis where everyone expects him to be like S but he wants to stand out on his own merits. So a bunch of shit went down and it came out that he's a clone. He's pissed. He feels especially betrayed by me because he suspected the clone thing awhile ago and I told him it wasn't true. I tried to explain that I always wanted him to know the truth but his parents didn't want him to so I was respecting their wishes. Was I an asshole?
