[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 629321, member: 14557"] Yes, but you are not taking those things as issues that have been set to stone, but instead make effort to influence environmental factors so that those risks wouldn't materialize. If you would believe, that it is all genetics, there wouldn't be a point. Oh, there was that particular comment right on the first page, that said just that, with likes and agrees in it too. Later part no one said in this thread, but if we believe that nothing can be done, that is a logical conclusion; why even try, if it is set in the stone? And while my difficult child's biological father is a bit of wild card (he is very high functioning, if intense, himself, but I know little about his family, though I have some reason to believe it may have been slightly disadvantaged) this talk about genetics ruling it all is more likely to hit the nerve, because according these opinions, my very well known and very risky family background absolutely means, I shouldn't be alive and so of course not my kids either. And I very much am against the idea, that I should not have been born, because my parents were carrying lots of genetic risks for mental health and addiction issues. I also find it rather peculiar, that people talk like addiction or mental health issues would be the reason to 'not pass the gene on', but at the same time don't seem that worried about passing on bad genes when it comes to other illnesses. Like it would be somehow worse to pass your child addictive genes than genes that make your cancer risk sky rocket. Maintaining the stigma of addiction and mental health issues is something I oppose too, you see. [/QUOTE]
