[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it should be disclosed within three months.  My spouse hid a significant history of mental illness (schizophrenia) in his family, including his mother whom I never met. I didn't find out until many years after we were married.   Apparently, onset was in late teens, including multiple suicide attempts.  In contrast, I disclosed to him early in our relationship that I had a grandparent who was bipolar.   I am now living with a great deal of anxiety in connection with the future mental health of my young teen children.  [/quote]

That's awful. [/quote]

Wait. We're talking about mental illness in the actual person you're dating. Everyone has people in their family with a mental illness.[/quote]

Schizophrenia is serious. Everyone would want to know if that's in your immediate family's gene pool. This woman now has to sweat it out as her kids age, worrying if they will have it. Not cool for her husband to withhold that info. [/quote]
