[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, I never meant to say any of these things you’re talking about. I realize that raising kids and then adults with SN is costly, emotional, likely extremely anxiety ridden, draining, and stressful. That’s what I meant by the ruined comment, we barely keep it together now as parents. My comments are about how I don’t think I’ll be strong enough like these other two friends. I know you’d love your child forever and always but I am anxious about implications for the whole family. Anyway...was just wondering about something I know we can’t control and how others overcame those thoughts. [/quote]

I overcame those those thoughts by being fully aware that shit can go wrong at any point. Kids who are 100% healthy at birth can develop all sorts of issues later in life. Kids get cancer. Kids get diagnosed with rare genetic issues. Kids die in accidents. Shit happens. There are no guarantees in life for us or our kids and, no matter, what you get through it. If your kids were diagnoses with cancer tomorrow you figure out a way to deal with it and to "have the strength." Not having more kids doesn't protect you from things going wrong. [/quote]
