So I am not actually a parent. I resolved some years ago not to have children, though I have at least 10 more possible childbearing years ahead of me.
I made my decisions for various reasons, one of which being that I would not be a good parent. I have messed up relationships, including a marriage, due to my emotional issues. I feel that I would do the same to my children. I feel that I couldn't love them enough if that makes sense? I have felt that I have never loved anyone constantly. I fear that I would screw my children up by not being able to meet their emotional needs and putting them through drama as well.
Do any of you feel that way? For those of you who are parents, does having BPD affect how you are with your children?
