damnyoud, actually you misunderstood what I said =P sadly, I’ll have to return the compliment =P too bad though because I like the compliment. I was referring to worrying about bipolar genetics. [bipolar disorder is unfortunately for life] I was just saying that my ADD stuff isn’t so bad that I wouldn’t have children related to it. It is the bipolar which makes me question having children. I think I am emotionally stable enough to have children one day in the future. I am extremely careful about dealing with it and get better at coping with each year. However, having bipolar disorder does equate with at least periodic horrible suffering; I would hate to pass that down to my child. Also, getting pregnant with medications is a problem.

Right now, I can barely keep a pet cactus alive and maintain food in my fridge..(ADD thing), I will need to remedy that if I am to be a parent. lol.
