[quote=Anonymous]Your concerns are completely valid. Aside from manic and depressive episodes she has a history of multiple car accidents, suicide attempts, and violence towards others. Posters are minimizing this as some kind of defense against those with mental health issues but their comments are not realistic. Parents who are unable to provide a basic level of safety to their children are not “great parents” and you are not ridiculous for worrying. While there is not much you can do it is wonderful that her husband is stable and supportive and that MIL is heavily involved. These are protective factors and, if they provide a lot of care for the child, it is very likely this child will be ok. It sounds like they understand your sister needs continued support and will be stepping that up. My guess is that MIL will end up helping out a lot at home and that will be good for the baby.
