I’d be honest with her sas123. She’s old enough to understand and you’re never too young to learn compassion and empathy. I’m a firm believer in using these things as teaching life lessons. With the mental health issues in my own family I was very vigilant with my own kids. Even though I grew up with a mother that had mental health issues, I felt the need to hide myself. I waited for years before seeking help…It was almost too late for me. I attempted suicide several times and never wanted my children to go through that. It was SO important that they knew that there is no shame and that there is help available.
