My daughters are 33 and 36, and I haven't told them.
My youngest knows that I have clinical depression, because that was my dx until 2011.
My oldest is a know it all and a sceptic, and she has 2 B.A.'s - in Psychology and Sociology. I've told her nothing. I'm sure she knows something is wrong, because she's very smart, but I haven't told her outright. Also, to be fair, my oldest daughter had a baby girl in 2010 who passed away last Easter at the age of 3. They spent all their time from 2010 until Easter 2013 running from dr to dr and hospital to hospital with my granddaughter. I felt it wasn't fair to burden her with my problems.
When I had surgery last month, I left letters to them about my dx, along with my advanced health care directive and will, so that they could find out and watch for it in themselves and their own families if anything happened to me during surgery. I've also been keeping an eye on them and their kids and have seen no signs of it so far, although my oldest has OCD.
I have no idea how to come out and tell them at this late date. My youngest is very religious, and would want to pray for me. My oldest is a sceptic and may not even believe me.
Any suggestions?
