Do you have children

I'm accused of being a doormat constantly, however I don't care. Only one of mine are teenagers right now...but I talk to her like a person. It seems to keep her clam, and it works for me. We'll see how it works for the others. lol But my family, and my husband's think my kids don't respect me. My deal is...if they grow up to be gangsters or something...they can say I told you so....if not....they can kiss my booty!!

well, I'm 32 and waiting for a baby by the end of august. I was dx six years ago after many different diagnosis before since I was 11 (eating disorder, alcol and other substance abuse, depression,...). I have always desidered to have children, even if I was always too bad to have them. By the end of last year I had a three months good period (no alcol or other substances, little medications,...) and we decided to try. My psychiatrist was very helpful even if at the begining he was not convinced it was a good idea. But after it was done, he supported me and I spent, for the first time since can remeber, a good period, with relatively mood stability, and better emotional regulation. I had to take some seroquel, but it was 1/18 the amount I take before (50mg).
i must say I'm really lucky because I have a very stable and calmig husband who helps me a lot.

I don't know how it will go and don't know if I will be able to give my milk, but until now it was good.
