But I did. I had to tell her the infection she had could be one that is so dangerous it takes lives. I used this as the reason it appears we run, not walk, to the doctor at the first sign of danger.
I believe that honesty with my kids is the most important thing as they grow into the people that will be taking care of their own health care. It was a cringe-worthy discussion for sure. In fact, my husband would have chosen to not have it at all.
Which way is the right way to go? I think it depends on your kids and what they can handle and what you're comfortable sharing and finally sharing in a way that works for you. We go the honest, straightforward route.
I wish I could say I don't mess up (in my alternate universe I surely don't mess up!) when talking with the kids about their disease, progression, symptoms or treatments, but I do. I have to believe that I do it right enough times to outweigh the times that I do not. Maybe it's cumulative, so at the end of my care giving of them, it'll weigh in my favor.
I think the hardest thing about living in this universe is thinking (longing for?) about the alternate one, where these conversations aren't even needed.
