LoL Not at all... You are brave. If you feel "foolish"... question that feeling. Is more of a feeling awkard?... foolish involves judgement... awkward does not. Are you combining a judgement with a feeling? You don't need to answer me ... or even yourself... you can just ask yourself the question and let it sit.

I agree it would be important to share with your nephews that you are bipolar. Are they adults? I would say it is their mother's choice until they are adults. After that, there is nothing wrong with telling them yourself. As a courtesy, I would talk to your sister first, and tell her how you feel about it, and that you want them to know. She might come around and decide to tell them herself. If she does not, at least she will know that you are going to tell them... She won't fall over backwards should they then go to her with questions about you. Just my thoughts.

Good idea to see what Dr. M. says.

love
