The Kids can see it

“when you talk to your kids you need to explain to them that he is sick. Doctors gave him a medicine to help him with anxiety and it made him crazy. He cannot control his thoughts or emotions. Tell them be loves them very much he just isn’t thinking clearly. Use this to show them you don’t mess with drugs and you always research medicine before you take it. Show them that it is important to know the risks and make sure someone else is watching for side effects who can help you get off if you need to. They are the next generation to have to deal with this and it’s going to get much much worse. The world is spellbound. I understand that your kids don’t want anything to do with them and they are entitled to having their feelings, but you need to explain to them what happened… you can simplify it. I told my kids everything. I can confidently say that my children will never take an antidepressant. My children were able to still love my husband, but keep him at a distance when things were bad. They were also able to accept a lot of what was going on because they understood that their dad would not have done this to them. They knew that this version was not their dad. They told me to give up on him but 5 years later I think they still hold some hope that our family will be reunited.”
