That's the thing I fear......I have one son who I KNOW is bipolar, plus one I suspect might be. The guilt of having passed this nasty illness on to two of the people I love best in all the world is awful, even though I realize on an intellectual level that it's not really my fault. I see them doing things that are going to have a horrific impact on their lives, and they don't heed my warnings....they just do whatever they feel like and have the nerve to act surprised when the rest of the world says "oh HELL no!!"
