I have a suggestion for you....I hope it is something you might be able to consider and do for you and yours
How about having a separate journal for each of you to use? In these separate journals can be writing and drawing pictures and maybe you can get everyone to agree to keep them private from you and each other until such time as you have a consesus that it's ok to share.
A friend of mine has done this before and it's worked out well. Everyone's journal is private until that part is willing to share. It's a great way for everyone to express themselves safely without worry of hurting anyone else or them being hurt by one another.
