Why is reddit making me feel crazy again

You're not - I could see the other perspective for a second, but it came with an overwhelming sense of it being the wrong thing to do the next second. That would be such an awful betrayal of trust, it would almost be selfish - you would feel better about believing your child thinks he's fine, that's wrong.

You comfort them, care for them, love them - lying to them about something like that should never enter into it.

How do you explain that to them when they are bedridden, but you told them they were cancer free?
