Hi Charlotte

I wonder if I've done damage to my kids too. It's a tough gig having a mental illness and being a parent.
I was highly medicated during my second pregnancy and believe it must have had some effect on my youngest child. The behaviour is soooooo different and moods and well, everything really Not to mention how screwed I have been since the kids were born. I'm sure that being in the care of a depressed, paranoid borderline will have had an effect on how they grow up.
They are mostly pretty good kids, but I'm preparing myself for the probability of behavioral issues later on.

I have no answers for you really. Just that I understand your angst.
