I don't have kids yet, but I want to have a child someday. I do worry about them being scarred by my problem. I also worry about my ability to take care of a child, and the possibility that I might pass my illness on to them. I'm interested to hear what parents have to say about these fears, and how they've played themselves out while raising kids. You might want to check out our previous thread about
Genetic Counseling in which some of the above issues are addressed.
