[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 696655, member: 15032"] I'm on the fence on this one. I think if there is a mental illness factor, then definitely nature. However how many times do you hear of siblings by same parents brought up in same home with same parenting and one is good and one is bad? My older son has a different father and he actually had a nervous breakdown at around age 30 (when we split - his doing) but now is stable, remarried with two more children and doing very well. I worried about son's mental health but he is great. Younger son with this husband who is troublesome but husband's older son with ex wife doing well (and she's a pretty odd). We say the two of us together created child with a problem. Addiction on both sides of our family - but to contradict - so many families have it on both sides if you look hard enough. So go figure.
