I don't suffer from the same disorders as you, though I do have a child. He'll be 19 months on wednesday. I have to admit I had my son early, in the relationship and in my life. Sometimes I feel like I have so many problems...that there're so many things wrong with me...that I regret bringing a child in my life. A child that I was not prepared for. Which only leads to hating myself for regretting the birth of my child. I wonder how my disorders will afffect him, though I always make an concious effort to hide it. When he gets older he'll probably think that mommy's crazy. It's not all bad...there are a lot of good that come with having a child. It gives me a reason to not dwell on myself. He makes me want to change or at least attempt some from of help. I think the most important thing as a parent, with or without PD, is to love your child and give your child someone they can look up to and be proud of.
