I am not a parents but have thought of this question many times as I want to be one. He may not ask til he's a bit older. I have an Aunt who I call mostly when I'm upset and she has 3 small children. The oldest one (she was 8 or 9 at the time) asked why she couldn't talk to me when I called (as I said it was when I was upset and had to talk to her about the cutting). She told her that it was because I was really sad. Then my cousin slept over and ask why I took my antidepressant. I told her it helped not to be so sad and to be happy. SHe took. I know it's not the same as her asking about the scars (still waiting for that) but yea.
