[QUOTE="serenityprayer, post: 333901, member: 8421"] Very interesting post! I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and have suffered depression in the past. I also have anxiety disorder. All of this has become way worse since having my kids...especially my difficult child and being married to my bipolar husband. My husband and I mixed my issues of depression/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety and his bipolar..........we got our difficult child son who is bipolar and has severe anxiety disorder. Our older child is symptom free of all of it and the only non medicated person in our family. In fact, she is an excellent student and has a great head on her shoulders. Who knew? LOL!!!!!!!!!!! So maybe it is like rolling the dice? I rarely had anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), or depression before I had kids and got married. Since difficult child's bipolar has become worse now that he is 9 years old....all of my issues are so much worse. I have anxiety about his rages, etc. I almost feel bipolar myself sometimes since I live with it constantly. Like their moods become my moods if that makes sense! My daughter uses lots of humour to deal with it all. The other night she noticed her Dad and brother were about to blow and she whispered to me.."I think we might have a double-rage night" :winking:laughing. [/QUOTE]
