How can you refer to your children as something your ex-husband "got?"
In reference to the first post, I'm completely against allowing people suffering from any type of mental illness to keep custody of their children. My mother's mental illness had taken immeasurable toll on my life, body, and MY mental wellness. The children of people with mental illnesses have no rights, it seems. I would have done better to have been placed in a foster home than have to live with my mother.
Also, it's been proven that some aspects of "hereditary" mental illnesses are LEARNED more than they are "passed down." Would you want your children learning that suicide is an option? That the proper reaction to small situations is overbearing anxiety? Anyone with mental problems, or whose spouses do, should MAKE SURE THEIR CHILDREN AREN'T VIEWING IT.
Maybe my point of view is skewed, but it's genuine.
