I try not to let them know I hide my meds etc they are ten eight seven and three, I have older ones aged 19 and 18 who are aware that I am ill but are only recently finding out the hows and whys.

I try hard to let my children live a life of innocent childhood many will think I am wrong but it has worked well with my younger ones as I let my older ones know about my illness from the symtoms alone, I was not a good parent to them and failed them but as I have learned more about my condition I am learning to adjust it to suit having children and taking time out which is a God send.

I personally treat it the same way I treat sex education with them which is if they ask the question I think they are entitled to an answer befiting their age.
