My kids are older, but I still do my best to hide my depression even from my husband. I will lay down like I'm taking a nap if I need to break down. I guess it is easier cause my kids are older now 15 & 20. I do feel guilty for what I put my oldest through. She got to deal with me undiagnosed and I was definitely all over the place. I don't know how she felt when she was younger but she has always told me I was a good Mom even when I feel like I was the worst at it.
