[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is mental illness in my husband's family (and my husband and my son) that would have made me pause had I known it would get passed down to my children. Either we wouldn't have married, or I would have been mentally prepared to deal with it. So I tell my children that medical history is very important when they find someone. And given how hard our family life has been, it's something they're on board with. The rest matters, of course - being kind, smart, having moral integrity. But severe mental health disorders just derail one's life to such an extent that it matters little how kind and smart you are and how hard you try. I don't know what you fear exactly, OP, but please do encourage your children to have premarital counseling and touch on the medical history aspect.[/quote] Wouldn’t that mean that potential spouses should avoid your kids?[/quote]
