I'm in a talkative mood tonight. Sorry if I'm posting too much.
I was just sitting here watching Law & Order: SVU reruns and I just saw the episode where Det. Stabler's daughter was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. It made me start thinking about things I try not to think about.
I am Bipolar. I am also a recovering alcoholic. I'm terrified about passing these things on to my children. My husband is adopted and I have no clue about his family history and what there may be to worry about coming from his end. It's all very scary.
I know this is a personal topic, so please don't feel that I am trying to pry. I am a very open person, and I don't mind talking about my struggles. I'm just wondering if there are any of you out there that may care to have a discussion about this.
Is there anything you or your SO struggle with that you are scared will pass along to your kids?
