You’re right. My oldest does know all about it. She says she wants to be a scientist so she can learn about it and help find a cure. But, that doesn’t mean seeing me unwell isn’t really scary and upsetting to her. Especially when I have been so stable and our lives have been so incredibly normal for so long. My son is mildly autistic and doesn’t understand empathy. Not only does he not understand, he also doesn’t notice. Unless I do something drastic, that is. And, I do think my youngest is a little young. I know that I am shaking the ground in my house right now. I hope that I have enough interventions to keep me from slipping into total madness.
