[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread, but I feel for you, OP. My family knows the details of one of my kid's situations and it can still be hard to be together.

But--since I have told them, my mom, especially, is very helpful, loving, and a good listener. It's meant so much to me. Yours aren't going to be the only kids that your friends know who have special needs. They probably know something's up and want to support you. Please let them.

As for your husband, I don't think he gets to decide this for you, especially not with your friends. Parenting special needs kids is hard enough without someone else dictating terms for you. Please consider what it would take for you to make your own choices here. Yes, your kids deserve some level of confidentiality at some point, but they are young, you have your own life to live, and everyone spills stuff about their kids--it's been happening since the watering hole. Please reconsider this aspect of your life for yourself.

We're rooting for you. [/quote]
