I agree with Lynn...

about keeping alert for the teachable moment. There are probably lots of them if you are watching for them. I would imagine that starting the conversation is the hardest part, so that would really open the door for you.

I'm glad you are choosing to tell your kids. I've seen friends around me who have the same circumstances and are not telling (at least not so far). I always hope that it turns out to be the right decision for their family. When I was about 19 I started finding out things about my parents that were unsettling. I think it would be better to just grow up simply knowing some things.
