Think this very true. My own fault because wait so long to be authentic me so they grow up with 'pretend hearie' mother. They always know that I have trouble understanding but, because lip read, and accommodate them, they never really have to, how say, be forced to face my deafness. For example, as long as I still speak then maybe they imagine Mumma not deaf because maybe in their mind deaf do not speak? I'll have to explore this with them.
