Thanks everyone. This is a big issue. My oldest is 17, and sometimes I think he needs to understand why I have the depression, or why I drink sometimes when I really don't want to, but it just gets to me too much. (not an excuse, I'm mostly sober for three years now).
My other two are two young (13 and 8). I know this. We had a murder (infant child killed) occur in our family and it really did my 13 year old in (she was much younger when we had the trial) so I don't think anything scary is safe for her right now.
But I am thinking about my 17-year old. He's very pragmatic and stoic, and I think he would understand and would appreciate being told so he could understand. My father is dead anyway.
Any other thoughts are certainly appreciated.
