You can do whatever you want.. which is the beauty of this board, of life. Folks do what they need to make it work.
In a few days your children are going to hear something painful that will change their world, that will shred their hearts and sense of security in this life they've always taken for granted. It may possibly be one of the most agonizing days in your life.
Mojo is great. Being able to find humor while walking a difficult path is great. Heck.. I did that, too. No matter how bad it was, I always found something that was good.
Honesty of feelings, writing what was true within, opening the door kept closed were basics in a writers group I was in. You have a beautiful gift and can choose how to use it.
In answer to your question... the best defense (aside from humor) is a good offense.
