Parenting with Chronic Pain

A Friend posted to FB this article today, and it was one of the best I have seen.  If you are or were the one suffering with Chronic Pain,  How would YOU talk to your children about it?  What steps would you take to lead you up to “the talk”?   It’s not an easy task, but one i have been VERY OPEN with my 2 boys and my step-daughter as well.  They have ALL been with me, when I have had Dr appts, blocks, and etc.  I wanted and needed them to know right from the VERY BEGINNING.  It’s something I was passionate about.  Not allowing them to see me like that wasn’t going to be an issue, it was something that my kids all needed to be a part of.  They have accepted it in SOME ways, and then not so much in others.  So for all you pain sufferers out there, please take a moment to read, and reflect on what you did or did not like about the article, what you would do differently and why.. and so on…:))
