I'm 29 and have two lovely daughters... and bipolar disorder. I have been reading about the experiences of people with bipolar mothers, and I am terrified. It seems statistically guaranteed that my daughter's will grow up to hate and fear me, feel that I ruined their lives and endeavour to cut me out of their lives. Obviously I'm not judging anyone for their relationship with their mother, I'm not in contact with mine. But is it POSSIBLE for me to not screw everything up? Because right now I feel like the only way not to ruin their lives is to kill myself now.
