[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. What's your role in your family? Does that change during times of crisis?  I'm the daughter. There aren't really times of crisis. It's a decades long issue.
2. What's your relationship like with your family member? With your parents and siblings? I hold my parents at a distance. Geographically and emotionally. 
3. How have you protected your marriage and children from the chaos? I don't leave my daughter alone with them any longer than it takes for me to go to the bathroom.
4. Do you worry about one of your children inheriting the disorder? No. She's adopted. [/quote]

Almost +1

1. Daughter of a mentally ill father, continual low-grade crisis that involves my mother. No sibs. Very superficial relationships with cousins due to geo dispersion.
2. Non-existent. I am pretty far removed geographically and completely disconnected emotionally from my father. I have a good relationship with my mother.
3. No need due to distance and total lack of interest in interaction with me or grandchild.
4. Yes, I do. I inherited my father's issues. But there are treatments (when one is willing to accept the condition and deal with it). There is an equally good chance DC will inherit DH's delightful character.[/quote]
