Told my kids about my mental illness #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #OCPD
A few weeks ago I had told my wife about my mental illness and my struggles. She is amazing. She immediately started asking what she can do. Even to the point of finding me a great therapist. I had be wanting to tell my kids and after this past weeks therapy session I decided to do it.
My 13 yo daughter cried when I told her. She’s been going thru her own things so I think me telling her of my struggles made her see she was not alone. My two oldest took it all in stride. They were happy that I told them and that I was getting help. I still need to tell my 6yo daughter. Altho with her it’s more of a what to tell her to help her understand.
All in all it was a good day.
