[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 642426, member: 14557"] One thing though; not at all every people who asks is malicious or even just nosy. Of course if they do not know your son has had issues and they ask, they are just polite, and even if they know about his issues, it would be rather impolite to pretend he doesn't exist and only ask about your other kid. But after you answer, people who have manners do follow your lead and let the topic be, if you answer something vague. As said, all of our acquaintances know about some of my son's issues, but of course most of them are not malicious when they ask about him. And when they are not, I of course try to be polite too and even give them some (positive, neutral) information I don't mind to give and my son wouldn't mind them to know. I also have to say, I would never had guessed how many of my acquaintances have been affected one way or another by gambling addiction and issues. If your son's issues ever end up to some more public forum, you will likely notice that many people you know, have loved ones with gambling or drug issues they have never shared with you before.
