Yes, I deal with this feeling a lot. I try very hard not to let it get me down because it just makes it more confusing to my lil man. He's only 2, so him picking up on it is a little bit less. I think he does know when I'm really really really hurting, because he seems to take it easier on me. (He's in his terrible twos). Like anything else, take it one day at a time, and do your best sweety. That's really all you can do, until you get your health back. I hope you are able to get your health under control, and be healthy again soon. My thoughts are with you. *huge huge hugs*  |

Unfortunately children do pick upon the suffering their parents do. Yes, you are wise to try and hide it from them. But, always talk to them no matter how small they are. I have a four year old and she sometimes knows how much I hurt.. she tries to help me by going and getting me stuff. Children are such angles... anyhow, I truely hope you get to feeling better.  |

Kids are more resilient than we realize hun and much more accepting of things like illnes also, as long as you are giving them all the tender loving care that is needed for them to grow and be stress free as litte ones should be, you cannot help your health issues hun, and the kids will still love you anyway while you remember these key points with them...I wish you well sweetie...*hugs*  |

Ive been so ill its kept me from working or caring for my kids fulltime for nearly 5 years, and I feel the guilt too. I feel like half a mom. Only thing you can do is be perfectly honest with them about whats going on. If they know more, they'll feel less insecure because then they wont wonder about everything.  |
