I don’t want to overwhelm my kids with all of this.
That's something I've heard that said a lot.
I know, we want to take care of our kids, not the other way around.
But even kids as young as 18 should know this.
Because when nothing is shared, even in a simple way, it doesn’t make things easier later.
It just makes things more unclear.
More stressful.
More scary in times that are already hard.
You don’t have to explain everything.
You don’t have to go through every number.
But letting them know where things are…
who to call…
what matters to you…
That’s the part that helps.
It turns something overwhelming and scary into something manageable.
