Hi Adam
I think you mentioned in your initial post that you have a little niece? So, it follows a brother or sister of yours has had a child...what about talking with he/she about how they felt etc. My Mum is Schizophrenic and I have three kids of my own. Very, very occasionally I think "what if" but I have great faith that the environment kids are bought up in can far outweigh any genetic pre-dispositon to (say) Schizophrenia.
My kids are great, well-adjusted young people. Sometimes they are regular horrors too, but thats part of the whole deal, which makes up "my best work" - my children...I wish you all the best in the future!
Deb.
