I have been taking meds for about a year now, but I haven't told my 17 year old daughter. I have had them hidden in a sort of jewelry box and tonite she walked in my room and decided she was going to open it to see what was in there. I grabbed from her, and she got real defensive and made a big stink out of it. She demanded an explanation but I didn't feel it was any of her business. Soemtimes, I think she's still three!

I'm the last one to be commenting since I can't even admit to myself that i need meds, let alone those around me, but I've been working at being a little more open. I openly discussed that I am struggling with my husband when the kids were in the room. I even told him if things don't get better soon, I'm going to talk to the doc about meds.
I guess I'm hoping that if my kids know I'm struggling (although I'd never expose them to the depths of my pain), they will feel more normal should they experience the same struggles, and maybe even feel more open to talking to me about it. |

it may be a good idea to let her know whats up. kids these days are used to the idea of medication because of over prescribing doctors. In your case you may need this medication and that's fine. I know I need help. If you are open and honest she may be able to help by avoiding irritating you and agitating the household. She will worry if you close off and she will come at you more. It may be time to open the doors and let her into help and understand.

Can you hide them in your underwear drawer? I would think that would be the least likely thing she'd want to borrow and probably wouldn't look there.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
