[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 581181, member: 1514"] JKF....I dont know if you have been around long enough to have read some of my guilt posts about Cory or if you were if you even read them. I understand your guilt. Even though Cory is my youngest son and I was 24 when I had him, I was a young mom when I started having kids. I was 19 when I had my first son. Only one year older than you. I have felt so guilty about the genes I past down to him even though I had no clue at the time that my mom was mental ill and her mom before her. I also knew when I ended up pregnant with him that I had been extremely sick and received several rounds of xray's and had taken several rounds of medications that could hurt the fetus during the first trimester. My obstetrician told me that there was a chance, and they couldnt give me the odds, that the baby would have birth defects of some sort and I had the option to abort him when we found out I was pregnant after all the above. I had no clue I was pregnant when I was sick. We chose to keep him. Over the years we have wondered if we were fair to him to have kept him. Not fair to us because we love him dearly and wouldnt trade him for the world and would do everything we have done all over again in a minute. We dont regret anything we have had to go through because of how much we love him but we wonder how fair it has been to him to have had to had all this happen to him. Yeah....I get guilt. [/QUOTE]
