Thank you so much for your thoughts, Jennifer! This is precisely the reason why I will never have kids. I'm simply terrified they will have to go through what I have had to put up with. Mental illness, especially severe and treatment-resistant depression runs in my family. We have so many cases that this can't be a coincidence and there has to be some genetical factor at play. My father's father died by suicide, my father's aunt died by suicide, my father has attempted suicide and both my brother and I are hopeless depression patients. I just can't have kids.
