[quote=Anonymous]I worry all the time, but what am I supposed to do? Be forbidden from procreating? I have mental illness and addiction on both sides of my family, especially on my dad's side: both of my great-grandfathers, an uncle, and a cousin all died by suicide. Despite an upbringing by parents who were not addicts and provided a loving and stable home, my sibling has severe mental illness and addiction. My DH has a mostly sane family but his sibling is on the spectrum and they are all extremely neurotic. We had kids anyway, and we are raising them in total awareness and using every resource available to us to support everyone's mental health. But - even if we do everything "right" there are no guarantees, family history notwithstanding.[/quote]
