I would be seriously concerned about passing on my problems to my kids. There is a strong genetic base for my problems in my family. At least half my family members have some mental health problems and most did not have a bad upbringing.

While I would like to believe that I would be the perfect mom, this is not realistic. Kids are 24/7 and I am not. I would need to take a very harsh look at myself and what I can realistically accomplish 24/7 for the next 20 years before I agreed to raise a child. If I messed up in any way then that environmental trigger would likely solidify the chances of them developing a mental health disorder. It's just too important to take a chance on unless I can be sure.
