[quote=Anonymous]DH has been In recovery for several years but has relapsed. He has been sick all weekend and tomorrow I am going to try to get him into inpatient rehab. I think I will need to explain why dad is sick, going away, and we will not be able to visit him in the hospital ( we have had several illnesses and hospitalizations in this family so that is a concept they understand). The older one is very intuitive and clearly knows something is different this time - DH has been sick before and we have never made a big fuss, but this time DC is very agitated and already talking about how we might miss our vacation next week. I think it is time to be at least a little bit straight with DCs, but I have no idea how. Any advice welcome.[/quote]
