I'm not sure I would have had kids if I'd known I was bipolar then. My husband was really the one who wanted kids, and he turned out to be a fantastic dad who made up for a lot of the stuff I was unable to handle. They have their problems, but luckily it's only one son who is almost certainly an undiagnosed bipolar (he is not ready to get help). Whatever issues we had while they were growing up, they are all very loving and forgiving and we are on excellent terms.

Am I glad I had children? YES!! I would have missed out on so much if I hadn't. I guess God knew what He was doing when it came to bipolar disorder and childbearing in my case.
