Both parents alcoholics. Both prone to both manic and depressed behavior. 1/2 brother self medicated with drugs. Other 1/2 brother a type A personality. Lives in another state. I don't see him much.
Grandparents and Mom had a fit when I considered having children. Said I had a great life, why ruin it?
I married a man who didn't want children. So I don't have kids. Neither do either of my 1/2 brothers. One married a lady with kids, but has none of his own.
