When my son was born he had to have surgery on his heart because he was born with several defects in his heart. He is starting to ask me lots of questions about his scar and what the doctors did and why he was born this way and his brother wasn’t, etc. I just don’t know how much detail I should tell and how to answer some of these questions. At what age should I explain in detail about what he went through and what is the best way to answer these questions so he can understand them? Thank You!

I was born with heart problems and now I have a pacemaker. I’m 20. I had to have a lot of surgeries to fix my problem and I may need more in the future. How do I not be depressed and scared about this? It seems like almost everyone else was born pretty healthy, why do I have to be born with this? What did I do wrong? How do I be happy about it? I have a horrible scar and nobody can really tell me whats going to happen with my condition in the future.
