According to the share your shame model I posted my original "I'm dead inside" post both here and on facebook. Its really odd having people in your life knowing things you want to keep isolated from them. I've found its not so bad having yourself exposed, I've had friends share their own problems with me, have had many excellent discussions, and it seems to have worked out pretty well for me. I'm not sure how this applies to children. I personally don't agree with the notion that children need to be "protected" from the truth. If anything having open exposure to their mom's internal state might help them understand you as a person and bring you closer together. Treat them with respect and hope for the same back?
