My ex-husband just got diagnosed with ALS, and I just found out this last week. We have a 10 year old son that lives primarily with me but sees his dad very often. I have a couple of concerns: 1) how do you tell a 10 year old that their parent has ALS? How much info is too much without lying? 2) being that I'm the ex-wife (he is remarried), I'm concerned about prying too much, but on the other hand, I feel like I need to be kept in the loop since this concerns my son.
I guess, I just feel like I'm in a very strange position. Does anyone have any general advice for me? It's such a recent thing and I haven't really had a chance to process it like I should.
Any advice would be truly appreciated!
Thx!
