[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 558943, member: 4264"] I would ask your difficult child. As an adult, in my opinion he has a right to ask you to keep confidential medical talk private. Even from his dad. I would think different if this was a legal matter or a dangerous issue. But if difficult child wants to speak private to you because he and his dad aren't seeing eye to eye right now, I don't see it as wrong for him to keep it between you and him. I know not everyone would agree with me. Ultimately it's a very personal decision. From my point of view, it's quite common to feel more comfortable having certain talks with one parent than another. And if he asks for privacy for a non life threatening or serious issue? I would honor that simply because he asked. Since he didn't say one way or another, next talk I would keep it nonchalant and say a breezy "so I haven't mentioned it to dad because I didn't know if you wanted this kept between us for now or not. Should I fill dad in?". [/QUOTE]
