Sometimes I question my ability as a mother b/c of being bipolar. But like my doctor says who doesn't question their abilities as a parent for some reason or another? I have 4 children +1 stepson and let me tell you over the past 11 years I have had many issues w/ staying stable for them but really they have made me better than I ever was w/ out them and Ihave no idea as to where I would be or what crazy *** things I would have done if I never had them. Unless you are so unstable you'd be a risk to the safety of your children no one should be telling you if its right for you to have kids or not. I also am a great mother and alot of that is due to the wonderful husband and others that support me when I am in need.
