Interestingly, the only one of my children who knows I'm in therapy is my youngest. His Therapist dragged me into all this and then pushed me to tell my son to "normalize" what he was going through. We have an understanding that it is "private" and not for open discussion with other people. He is a very sweet, sensitive child (part of the problem, the world eats kids like him) so it hasn't been a problem.
My other two are teenagers, great kids but totally self-involved, as they should be. One is away at college so really isn't plugged into what is happening at home.
I love that they use humor to cope with all the crap at home. Their dad is pretty sick so some days the moods are bad, plus they miss how much he use to play with them. Sometimes it gets disrespectful but I need to allow them some room in this...besides it makes me laugh. (I'm so bad!)
