[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may speak generally about it - but not specific. Just like I won't mention my abortion. Some things, I don't want my child to know about me.[/quote] While I understand you desire for privacy, and you have every right to it. I wonder if when your kids are old enough, and depending on their gender, if you might consider how their knowing you had those experiences and survived and thrived in spite of them might help them see you and themselves in a more powerful light. It’s a fine line, but we can empower our kids by their knowing how strong their mothers are. And by hiding these things we only make them shameful rather than an opportunity for really deep and connecting discussions with our kids that can influence their life in a positive way. [/quote]
