I've been happily married for more than 8 years now; it hasn't been easy at all but worth it all the while.
Now, here is my concern and fear. When I met my other half, we share a lot about ourselves really quickly and I found out his father suffer from schizophrenia all his life. Myself was coming into this new relationship with some family issues as well; severe depression and mood swings were my everyday life. Now after all this years, we have find out that my husband has ADD and I'm bipolar, but I can see that we have some other "not really nice stuff" going under our surface. We both are really agressive at times and it's hurting our love a lot. But what worries me the most is my daugther. She is our lives, so we try really really hard to be the best just because of her. But what about our genes, we can't control that. I'm freaking out about that almost everyday; I don't know what can happen to her having in mind our family history. Any info on this? Thank you!

If you take identical twins (genetically identical)
If one of them has schizophrenia... There is only a 48% chance that the other will. And they are GENETICALLY IDENTICAL. Genes aren't even half the story ;-) That being said... Working on the anger stuff and things like that could really help... |
