I never wanted children. As I’ve said before if I didn’t have schizophrenia I could have sleepwalked into having them.

I never was going to have kids. It wasn’t until I accidentally got pregnant and lost the baby to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy that I decided to have kids. I guess it was hormonal or something. I’m glad it turned out the way it did, obviously, but it was a hard road to walk with this illness and me being a single parent for most of the time and my daughter having disabilities.

Had I known I was going to become ill I wouldn’t have had them. I didn’t even know I could get pregnant with my second child. I also wanted to adopt a child but it never worked out.

I didn’t want to have a kid of my own because of the health issues in my family, not just the SZ. I was supposed to be sterile anyhow, so it was a bit of a surprise to have a kid (and yes, she’s mine, genetic testing was required at one point). Now that I have her I wouldn’t have things any other way.

I don’t think I want children.
Even had a baby 6 years ago and had him adopted by an incredible family.
Maybe when I get a little older I’ll want to foster,
Maybe.

I wanted more children. I have one. I’m so glad that I didn’t have anymore children, now that I know how people really are.

I have a partner and we are engaged and living together but I don’t want children.
I think it could possibly ruin what we have. The stress of it. I get very paranoid and kids would really trigger my paranoia I think.
We just enjoy what we have. Maybe one day I’ll change my mind and feel ready but as of now I don’t want them.

I adore little ones. They make me smile. Bless em. But on my records it says i lack parenting skills - which royally pisses me off. Yeah maybe when i was drinking but not anymore.
I had the chop a while ago anyway - so any kids i have will be step-children if i ever get that lucky.
In reality it will never happen tho.

I can’t really say I ever seriously considered having children. I think you should be very stable for that sort of thing.

I wanted to have children.
Unfortunately I had a abortion when I was hearing voices and felt tortured and psychotic.
The fathers friends said they wanted to kill me and were not nice to me.
I regret having a abortion but my family said I have to and I was not strong enough to say no.i was such a mess.
We had a boy inside me for a while till he was aborted.
I regret it so much.
Then I had ovarian cancer and had my ovaries removed and now I’ve had my uterus removed too.
I feel uncomfortable around most children that are not my own and since I do t have kids that’s a lot and it’s emba when they ask questions I can’t answer that are simple.
If I join a dating site I rather date someone without children or not meet their children or not meet them often.

I would say I didn’t but that’s not true. I occasionally fantasied about having a wife and kids before I became a schizophrenic. But I did want it primarily on my terms with me accomplishing certain things before I tried it. However before then when I first fell in love I tried to see myself years down the line as a father without having a clue on how to get there. That ended when her family moved out of town. In retrospect I think she would have married one of the other guys in the neighborhood in the long run had she stayed. About 11 years ago a stranger took me home from work and I could have sworn it was her but I was afraid to speak up and ask her name. I never met her again.

I want children, but I’m worried that they’ll end up like me with a genetic disability. To prevent this, I’m going to discuss it with my future partner to see if he has any pathogenic mutations in the same gene.
