I know it is scary, but he will understand and it will be ok. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} You should see the stuff I just confessed to one of my professors last night. I commented that I was probably telling her too much, and she said not to worry about disclosing too much: self-disclosure is good for your mental and physical health. I tried to keep all my issues hidden for most of my life, and now I'm not doing that anymore, and it's still scary, but it feels better at the same time. Know what I mean?

Your kid's T sounds like a good guy who is concerned about you and wants to help you to be ok. What is going on with you is relevant to working with your child also, as even if your child doesn't know all of it, kids do sense things. It's ok if you can't go into details. What you have written I'm sure will be a good start, and if you are more comfortable sharing more with him later then you will have that option. Picture us all holding your hand for confidence if it helps, 'cause you know we are with you in spirit.
