[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 541984, member: 14557"] As it says in my sig I come from the long line of difficult children, well documented from early fifteenth century on :winking: I can't come up with any mental or neurological disorder there has not been in my family tree, but in recent times there has been less more serious stuff. My mothers parents were somewhat normal (mother's grandparents are the different story...), my mother was more eccentric than anything (eternal hippie, didn't do responsibilities, very volatile love-life, very intelligent and well-read, managed to obtain PhD somehow) and I do suspect my father may have an undiagnosed Borderline (BPD), he also has some substance abuse issues. I'm fairly healthy myself. I do have a lot of common with my difficult child though. His biological father is very high functioning, but his family background was a mess, what I know about. It could had been situational though, life had been very hard for that family. But I wouldn't be surprised if some of difficult child's neurological flavours would come from there though. My husband, who is difficult child's social and juridical father and easy child's father has no significant mental health background. [/QUOTE]
