[quote=Anonymous]I have struggled with mental illness and have mental illness in my family. I think I'm a pretty darn good mom and really work at it. In some ways my experience working through mental illness has helped me as a parent. It has made me more empathetic and given me a better understanding of how the brain works and what it means to support someone else who is struggling. So yes, I think people who have struggled with mental illness should have kids, assuming they want them and are willing to put the effort in to parenting them well. Also there are people who don't have diagnosed mental illness who are terrible parents.[/quote]
