Mental illness really isn't funny. It destroys families. Would you choose to raise your child around someone with a mental illness?
I'm not talking about anxiety disorders or mild depression, I'm talking about hard core mental illnesses like psychotic disorders or severe depression or schizophrenia. I also include alcoholism and drug addiction in that group because I think those addictions are comorbid with mental deficiencies.
I wouldn't. I wouldn't want a kid to think that is "normal" behavior. That is too much to ask a kid to tolerate. Normal people don't harm children, but people with serious problems do. You never know when someone is going to get fixated on a fucked up idea.
