How do I tell my kids I’m going away for drug treatment?

Question by momgoncrazynKY: How do I tell my kids I’m going away for drug treatment?
I’m a stay at home mom of a girl 9 and a boy 5. I will be gone for 9-12 days for treatment. Don’t think they will understand ‘drug treatment’…what should I tell them so they won’t worry?
Thanks Lynze83! You are right on with NOT using ‘sick’…and the idea of write’n to them…THANKS So MUCH!!!

You are sick and need help from the doctor. It will take a while and kids cannot visit where you are going. Promise to call and write when you can. Best to get it done now before they get old enough to remember. Good luck!
