I don't remember when this happened, but I recall being in the
basement of my parents house. My mom was down there doing laundry and
she made the following comment to me:
"You are lucky you were born a guy in this family."
That
stopped me. When I asked her what she meant, she told me to consider
the females in my family. My mother. My sister. My aunt (mother's
sister). My grandmother (mother's mother). ALL of them suffered from
mental health issues that had huge impacts on their lives. So my mom
believes that some gene was passed to all the females in the family.
Myself
and my cousin (male) don't seem to suffer from the same issues, so
maybe she has a point. I'm not sure, but I'm scared of having a
daughter of my own some day. Am I bringing her into the world to
suffer?
