My close family always assures me that I am a good person, but I have some holier than thou cousins that made a comment last summer at our family reunion when I was w/ my kids and husband. I am much more stable now that I am taking meds than when I was in my 20's and not, and one of them made a comment on how all of a sudden, I could be a perfect mother. He said it to be hurtful. There definately is a stigma that we can not function and can not do things that "normal" people do.
