[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP. Pride or shame are often reasons people hide health issues from loved ones. My FIL was diagnosed with dementia, but for a long time MIL did not tell us. When we saw them he seemed fine. DH and DD spent some time with him, just the three of them. Then DD climbed onto something right next to FIL and fell. DH had his back turned b/c FIL was playing with her. Only after the accident did we find out about FIL's diagnosis (she was ok, but it could have turned out much scarier). Why did MIL not disclose this? It wasn't pride. It was shame. Stupid, wrong-headed shame. [/quote]
