[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My side of the family is rife with substance abuse and suicide. It wasn't until after we had kids and the oldest was diagnosed with ADHD was my DH diagnosed with ADHD and depression. Through a lot of education and research, I have learned that with knowledge, interventions and supports, outcomes are far more positive. I know what happens when that isn't present so I have worked hard with my kids and my DH to ensure they know how they are different and their risks. My kids are now teenagers and while we still have our challenges, they are on the right paths. I have no regrets about having kids with 'bad genes' and [b]would discourage them from seeking a life partner who wasn't willing to learn what I learned.[/b][/quote] x100000 Nailed it. It is the families that deny and try to cover up their mental health that are not fooling anyone, and create more work (actually, an impossible amount of work) for their DC. Shame on them. [/quote]
