I have a 22 & a 21 year old. I was diagnosed at 43yrs of age. If Id known in my early 20s that I would have Bipolar one day, I wouldve never had children.
That being said, given that I dont live in a hypothetical world, it is what it is.
I love my children. I wouldnt change anything although I do feel some guilt at some of the mental fragilities theyve inherited.
