[quote=Anonymous]I told only my sister when I was going through everything. Her support was invaluable. I had two kids through treatments, so I was going through everything off and on for 5 years. I did this because it was so emotional and difficult that I didn't want a lot of people involved or asking me about it. I wasn't in a place where I could have a casual conversation and then bounce back to normal. For me, it helped a great deal to compartmentalize and just have my game face on with almost everyone in my life. And then I would call my sister and cry. Many, many times I cried. Now that my kids are older, I'm also glad I didn't share. It's no one's business how they got here and I haven't really thought about whether I will share with them one day. I might if it comes up naturally, I guess. But I want that to be in my control. (They are biologically our kids, so that's not an issue. It would just be sharing with them that we needed help to have them.)[/quote]
