How do you feel when SOME ONE else tells others you have CF?

Husbands can be taught better if you don't want people to know. Your daughter being so young... you should have been happy she wasn't embarrassed by you -- I'm sure there are kids who are embarrassed by having a mom who's "different". Seems as if she was proud of you for having CF and doing so well, being such a good mother, etc. I'd say that's worth praising, not apologizing for.

yeah, this is a good point, but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing/awkward at the moment.

So sorry this happened. Yeah, I had a friend in high school that told a couple of people who told a couple of people. Long story short, I had some random jerks here and there ask me if I was dying. It really hurts your heart when these things happen. <br><br>
I used to be super embrassed, but now, it's not so much that. I just feel there are certain horrible people that do <b>NOT DESERVE </b>to know, and they wouldn't <i>appreciate </i>it.

I'm very open about my CF, but I'd rather people ask me directly. The problem with secondhand information is that people usually just hear "terminal disease" and start expecting me to keel over. I think i'm much more effective in educating people. I also do like telling people on my own terms- I just find that I feel as if i have more control over the situation and that makes me more comfortable.

That said, if you don't want to talk about it, then that's your choice, and people should respect that.
I think you should sit down and talk about what your expectations are, in terms of him telling people. I'm not sure it's fair to get mad only when he tells someone you don't like.
