I did not have cancer when my children were young (they are 28 and 32 now), but my husband and I both had stressful Silicon Valley jobs (a good reference would be the NYT article on Amazon) and when our older, very sensitive son was in the 8th grade my husband was diagnosed with Type II diabetes which was probably simmering for a long time. He lost his temper easily and would get angry with the kids for no apparent reason to me. Once we found the cause, my older son told me many years later that he immediately researched the disease and he was never bothered by his Dad's temper again. If you love your kids, they do know, they really know it. Sometimes they know other kids who don't have loving parents and they can see the difference even at a young age, even if you lose your temper. I cannot come close to imagining what you are going through right now, but your kids will understand and will love you.
