...There is no “right” time (to tell) but the “right” time might be now.
Stewart: “My advice would be to tell. Certainly it’s never as bad as it seems to give this information to other members of your family. You know, I think, you couch it in as simple terms as possible, give as much information as you feel comfortable with and let them absorb it and let them if they want to come to you with anything else they will."
Olivia: “I didn’t have a very big reaction and it doesn’t affect me or my daily life. I just know about it and that’s all people deserve to know and have the truth.”
Tom: “Well it’s probably a fact about their life that they should know about. I think they should talk to them in an easy to understand way.”
