My oldest daughter (18) has been diagnosed with latent schizophrenia and MDD, but she doesn't blame me. She, like myself, loves life, mental illness and all. I think it makes us more empathetic than a lot of people, even though there are downsides. Those are short when compared to overall life. I'm sure you weren't hoping you can pass it on. I bet you were a great mom, and that's what really matters.
