It's good that you told him. He loves his mother, I'm sure, and wants no harm to come your way and will be there to back you up.

My wife Suzy hid her RSD from me for two years. She was afraid I'd leave her and effected her mentally in a very profound way. She was convinced in her mind I would leave. That was several years ago, since then our stress levels have been cut at least 75%. She is much much better with less stress, and functions better now than I've seen in 10 years. We will celebrate our 30th Anniversary this June.
