[quote=Anonymous]My cousin was diagnosed when she was in her early 30s. She's now in her mid-50s and, overall, she's doing pretty well. One issue I have noted, though, is the effect on her kids, who are now in their early/mid-20s. They have grown up hearing all the time -- from her husband and, to some extent, from her sibs and cousins, including me -- how important it is to minimize stress on her. In some ways I feel that this has contributed to their having somewhat distant or not completely honest relationships with their mom. At times I've been a confidante of her kids (my own children are just a bit younger), which I thought was being helpful. Looking back, though, I'm not so sure, and I wish I had considered the pitfalls earlier. [/quote]
