@shutterbug is it unfair to have a child if your ill? You did it pretty well seemingly

I don’t even think that I can take care of a dog.

I think a cat is the highest possible goal.

Ours wasn’t planned as I was told I was sterile. It turns out that I had more ammo for my gun than previously thought and I am a world-class sniper. I was worried about heart disease and diabetes, not the SZ. I don’t regard it as an intractable problem. So far the kid has been safe from all three. Fingers crossed on the SZ, but betting she can work around it if it lands on her.

Same here.

A cat would be manageable.
A dog would find me too absent-minded and not get all the well-deserved attention.

A giraffe would be the tallest possible goal, but I bet they need a mountain of food.

I want more kids.but it ain’t gonna happen. Social services would be round in a heartbeat because of the drinking and I’m not always stable.

Got my 23 old daughter tho. I don’t drink when I got her. But having her full time would be a problem. And anyway I’m 50 this year,so probably past it

I’m not really aiming to have kids, but if one ever comes my way I swear to myself that I’ll take care of them as best I can and give them a loving and fulfilling life.

Hah. I have a story, but I will tell it after work.

And yes he is a dirty dog. He also likes being whacked with rolled-up newspapers.

Don’t ask where.

No. I was being serious.

Children are just a matter of the fact when it comes to having a sexual relationship. It’s something that I’ve mentally prepared myself for.

I do want kids, however, I’m unsure about putting a woman and children through my unpredictable nature due to schizophrenia. I feel almost selfish that I want a relationship while my family and friend relationships are so… eventful. Not only just my mental illnesses, but my personality suffers, too. I’m borderline narcissistic, I have actual BPD traits, I lost my humor with the onset of schizophrenia, and most of all, I’m being constantly reminded how self-centered I am.

It sounds like you have a lot to work through John, but I believe in you man. Your heart’s in the right place. You’re clearly looking at yourself trying to figure out what to do and how to improve. Just keep going on

Just because you are in a bad place now doesn’t mean it will always be that way. Have hope.
