I've got a whole slew of mental problems myself, and have had 2 children with different partners (both had their own mental issues). My son has now been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. It hurts that he's got my issues but he is lucky enough to have a mother that understands his condition. My mother was never diagnosed (though, believe me.. she's got plenty of unchecked problems) and could never relate to me. She didn't understand, and it made life pretty hard. My son doesn't have to worry about that though, because I've been dealing with it since childhood, so I've learned plenty of coping mechanisms and know some tips to help him grow with his disabilities so he grows into a well rounded individual. You can pass down both problems, and solutions. Hopefully this helped ^^"
