I'm sure they trust you. You're always there for them, right? You'd do anything for them.
This is not about trust, but it is very much about love.

I don't see it in our case, unless perhaps I were very, very sick. I understand different families work differently, but I didn't hesitate to tell my mother about my stage-4 diagnosis (within an hour), and I think my kids would do the same if (deity forbid) they were ever in the same situation.

We've always had good and frank communication, in both directions, and have worked hard to build and maintain that trust.
