Parents, what are your biggest fears when it comes to your children?

I'm afraid of her turning into me. I have several mental illnesses. Many can be inherited.

She was not a planned child, several BC methods failed, I hadn't been diagnosed yet when I had her, and abortion is illegal here, so please don't come here to say "well if you are so mentally ill why did you have her in the first place".

She's 5 and by that time I was already showing signs of mental illnesses while she's not. So that's good. But it can happen anytime.

She's also a very... special girl. Acts a lot older than her age, innate leader, loves to boss her peers around. I was vulnerable as fuck back then, and ended up being bullied severely my whole life. I fear she will end up becoming the bully!
