Telling your kids the truth about BIID and your impairment

by Sean - 7 September 2008

I don’t have children, so this is a complication that I would not have to face if I managed to become paraplegic. But many of us do have children and have to think about this. What do you tell your children if you become an amputee or paraplegic? Do you tell them the truth? Or do you tell them a "white" lie (though the size of such a lie would make it more grey than white).
