[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 554851, member: 1514"] Wish they had a spousal DBT therapy....I would send Tony. He is so quick to blame anything I do on my issues but refuses to believe he has a darned dog in the fight. As far as difficult child's having kids, my step brother made that decision because both he and his father are bipolar. His father has a pretty severe case of bipolar 1 and my step brother had a pretty mild case of bp2 which has been in remission since he was in his early 30's. He is a 2 years younger than me. About 3 years ago now, he adopted a little boy so he wouldnt pass on his gene's. I laughed and said he was just taking on a whole set of chances he had no idea that could crop up. He exchanged the known for the unknown. I can honestly say I dont think I would have changed having my kids if I had known that I had bipolar. I know Cory wouldnt have given up having kids for all the tea in China. He has wanted kids since he was 12 years old. That was the first time someone let him hold their baby and it stopped crying in his arms and smiled up at him. He was a goner. Thankfully he was a boy or I would have started having grandchildren as early as he was able...lol. [/QUOTE]
