[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 691246, member: 1550"] Tired, I feel a need to address your regrets. First and foremost, mental illness is in my family and just like you, especially when Bart had to drop out of college because of it, I berated myself that I had a biological child. I had also thought that maybe I shouldn't have had any kids. I adopted the rest of my kids. I understand how you felt because of this but neither of us were sure our children would inherit mental illness. Just because it's in the family doesn't mean it will happen for sure. We can't blame ourselves for this. As for staying in a bad marriage or getting angry...this is not uncommon and not all children raised this way turn out difficult. We all regret some things we did. That's what this thread is all about. Please be kind to yourself. We did the best we knew how. All of us. You too. Have a peaceful night. [/QUOTE]
