Question Of The Day: Is It Child Abuse?

Is it child abuse for parents with a history of mental illness to have children who could inherit that mental illness? I think it is because that’s a generational curse. If the parents are mentally ill, why would they want their children going through what they’re dealing with?It’s not fair to the children because they didn’t ask for mental illness, they inherited that from their parents. Unless the parent(s) has their mental illness under control, then it’s possible for them to be good parents. Mental illness is too unpredictable to tell when someone will & won’t have a mental breakdown, so it’s best for parents dealing with mental illness not to have children.
