[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. My mother hanged herself when my kids were under 5. At the time I could not begin to imagine how to tell them what had happened, so I lied. I also deferred to my father's wishes not to share this information with anyone outside our family. He is still living, and I will respect his wishes during his lifetime. I am not ashamed of what my mother did, but it is a burden for me in the sense that I think of it often, and it is always painful. It's the pain that I wish I could spare my children and the wondering whether this is what lies in their future, but perhaps they will not be affected as I have been. I know I have to tell them eventually, but they have not shown any curiosity about the subject so far. I may need to be the one to broach the issue and haven't decided when to do it. I appreciate the thoughts of those of you who have dealt with this firsthand.[/quote]
