[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was bipolar. It took a while for my kids to notice but eventually I just explained to the kids that their grandmother’s brain worked differently from others. That explanation evolved as they grew older but I even now as high schoolers I’ve tried to protect my mother’s privacy, even after she has passed away. There is no need to drag every skeleton out of the closet.[/quote] I think you should at least tell them the accurate condition because it's genetic. My family had some relatives they didn't discuss and it's clear now long after the fact there's an inherited condition.[/quote] I agree with you 100%. More than 100% And my children happen to be adopted so this is not relevant in their very specific situation.[/quote]
