I'm also terrified about this. Looking back, I can see my father had some minor, but unresolved mental problems, and my eldest brother had a "breakdown" a coupe of years ago, and now has talk therapy once a month - but as it's never realluy discussed int he family, I'm not sure what really is wrong.
I'm 26, and married just over a year ago. Obviously, having children is something quite strongly on my mind at the moment, even though we plan to wait another 2 or three years before having any children. I am so worried about it, as I would never want to put my children through what I go through...
ho hum!!
