[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 257398, member: 3388"] I don't think mental illness is contagious, but like others have already said, living under constant stress, surrounded by mentally ill persons, definitely can take its toll... I grew up in a very unhealthy environment - in my humble opinion, although never diagnosed, both of my parents are very unstable. When I left home, I thought I could put this all behind me - Then I was "blessed" with two difficult children... I know that I crave more time alone than I used to. I love total silence!!! I know that raising my difficult children has left deep scars. I know that no matter what I do, the scars will always be there... I think that I've become hardened in some ways... I don't think this is a good thing. However, I still think all my marbles are still there, at least on most days, lol... I like what Trinity said. It makes lots of sense. WFEN [/QUOTE]
