DAE not want to have kids for fear of passing on this illness?

I agree with you 100%

Me, my brother, my mother, my aunt and both uncles are all unstable and suffering the symptoms of this. I'm the only one who is diagnosed because none of them are interested in working with doctors...like this is a real medical condition.

I had one child and got fixed. I feel so bad for him. We are both in treatment. I dunno, I've tried many drugs and many doctors and never found anything that would 'fix' me yet. Now he's approaching his teens and he's miserable. He's angry, bored, irritable and sad.... I see where this is going.
Honestly....objectively.... there might not be a 'better' answer for ending our suffering than to mercy kill him, and then ending my own life. But I'm too damn stubborn to accept that. So we fight on.
We fight on ...and on ... and on. It never ends. It's exhausting. We fight on until we have *nothing* left... then we keep going. I cannot express in words how exhausting it is to be this ill and have to care for someone who is this ill AND to know that 'I did this to him'.

......I recommend *not* becoming me.
