[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 551911, member: 1550"] I noticed the physically ill part too. For now (knocking on wood) I have been very fortunate that way for my (cough) advanced age. Mental illness...I always struggled with that, from the time I was a kid, way before I had difficult children. And it makes sense to me that people with mental illness tend to have kids who also have issues, if they are biological kids. And adopted kids are usually the products of difficult children. I've had a few short term good jobs, but due to my serious learning disabilities and soft neurological signs, along with the face blindness which makes even my co-worker who sits next to me a stranger when I see her in the mall, I have had a terrible time holding down jobs which is why I got SSDI on the first try (God, that's so rare. They must think I'm pathetic...lol). I've always had a higher IQ than I work up to. "Confused" is my middle name and always has been. I can't multi-task or I forget what I was doing. Therefore, I am content just to be a lowly bus aide, loving the kids. I think the divorce rate here is sky high. Almost all of us seem to have at least gone through one divorce. I know a few have not, but it seems that most of us have. Divorce and remarriage and kids from him and hub cause more stress. Stress causes health issues. Etc, etc, etc... [/QUOTE]
