This is in response to a post by Heather who asked how much of her pain, struggle and negative history surrounding her son's conception and birth should she share with him now.
I am a huge proponent of honesty. I am also a firm believer that being gentle and kind are absolutely necessary components of a healthy relationship. Therefore, this becomes a balancing act more than anything else.
I would offer caution at first and encourage you to look inward. When thinking about telling your son anything that could be negative or hurtful to him ask yourself why. Are you attempting to simply answer his question - or is there a deeper motivation?
