Eveninsunset62 Thank you so much for sharing, it is a help and I know we all struggle with questions similar to this. I did tell my 10 year old and like a 10 year old she just moved on.

My wife has Huntington's Disease, My oldest 18 and middle daughters 15 know about the disease, my 10 year old does not. The others were older when they found out. How do you tell a 10 year old.

Thanks, Huntington has been gone from our family for a generation that we can determine, we thought it died out. So now I have to share with my girls what is wrong with their mom. Any feedback?by Jimmgjersey - Huntington's Disease Support Center
My wife was diagnosed with Huntington last month after years of denile that anything was wrong. She has Choria and is still fine except for the movements and ticks. She still does not think there is anything wrong. She still drive the kids and does normal things but whenever I bring it up she get mad. I plan on telling my kids, age 15, 13 and 7.
