[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hell no. I have a friend with mental illness and she's a hot mess. Men are more likely to run away from women with mental illness. It's really sad that my friend can't figure out treatment and it's been 10 + years. She says anxiety keeps her from having a job.

One person is not representative of every single person with a mental illness. There are many people without mental illnesses are more of a "hot mess" than some people with properly treated mental illnesses.[/quote]

New  poster here. You are correct. However I was once married to someone who was mentally ill, and now I worry about my kids every day. So far, so good, and I think we would already know if they inherited it. But it's terrifying.

I would never ever marry someone with a mental illness of any sort again. Use me as a cautionary tale. My life was a living hell. And there was no way to know he would develop his illness when I married him.

One of your kids has a mental illness. [/quote]

Can you read? She said so far her child is ok. I would never do this myself it's too risky. [/quote]

I can read and I can promise you one of her kids has a mental illness, it is  probably  undiagnosed and  it's likely the kid will refuse being treated because they know their mother's views on mentall illness and don't want to be hated by their own mother.

It's also possible if the kids are adults they've been diagnosed and are being treat and  mummy dearest is none the wiser.[/quote]

Being an asshole isn't technically a mental illness, you know? [/quote]
