Feeling Guilty About Passing on My Condition to My Kids

It’s genetic but triggered by environmental and situations. My son was perfectly fine until his girlfriend broke up with him at 17. She was cruel and told him to kill himself. Then he got depressed and wanted to die for about 6 months. I still feel guilty. My ex is a sociopath so it’s not a good dna mix. I was physically injured and had to send him to live with his dad after 17 years raised him myself, he never saw him even though I’d beg him. Ive been horribly depressed ever since

No kids here, but I also fret that I’ll pass on my bipolar and that it will be too much for my s/o to handle.

I worry because after I was diagnosed my kids dad was diagnosed with bipolar too. So I’m vet concerned about it. Neither of our families had a history of it and we both got it.

I'm still so happy to have her in my life and couldn't imagine the world without her. If she weren't my kid she'd be my best friend.

My poor adult kids😥

This is partially why I don't have kids.

I feel guilty because I am seeing my 10 year old showing signs of bipolar I hate that she mostly likey has it and has to deal with it

I'm afraid I will.

U will and I feel guilty all the time

I do as well I have three and two of them unfortunately suffer with my conditions and it's tough to see them go through that as well definitely not easy

That's why I chose not to have children

I do as well
