With me, and with my two sisters who are also are bipolar. We all decided years ago, to have sterilization done onto ourselves. The curse of being bipolar, will not pass on to the next generation with our family. My sisters wanted to be married and have children. We talked, and we understood our childhood and being teenagers, and how we would be as adults. We did not want our children, to be like us. True, I am the only sister being a lesbian, but I could be raped, and have to deal with the fact, I would rather have a abortion, then risk my child to be bipolar as well.

My father was intelligent, he had a undergrad degree, he understood his family was full of family members being bipolar and committed suicide. He withheld that information from my mother. That, is his crime. I am glad that my father died in a car accident, because he could have given me another sister or a brother who could be bipolar too.
