[quote=Anonymous]Tell them! They want to know and be able to support you. Of course, they'll be worried and sad - because they love you! But that's the cost of love. It's not a bad thing to have illnesses and problems. They will feel like you robbed them of the chance to support you and to appreciate the time together if you don't tell them. I had a friend whose mom didn't tell her she was very sick. Then she collapsed and went into a coma, and it was devastating not to be able to have known this was a possibility and to have had those final conversations with her. I know your situation is different - luckily! - but it's so much better for them to be able to be there with you through this.[/quote]
