My son realizing more about my condition

I've had epilepsy for 31 years a son for 6 and ex-wife for 3. I have tons of stories and scars but nothing was worse than when my son said to me I'm so mad you have to take so much medication and are disabled. Clearly he's seeing side effects and his mother is telling him I am disabled. I fear because my epilepsy started at 12 years old that he could still develop it. As strong as I am, as many figurative bullets as I've taken, that one hurt the most.
