But still, feeling guilty is pretty much a complete waste of energy. As if you could have known or predicted it. Perhaps the only people who should ever procreate are those with impeccable genetic history? Or wait, wasn't that tried somewhere in the past? I am also a product of people who passed on certain genetic disorders/diseases that are very difficult to live with, and have to witness my own children trying to cope with some of them. Possibly, had I really known in advance that I may be passing along these illnesses, I may have considered not having any children. However, I didn't know and I don't feel guilty about having children any more than I would feel angry at my parents for having me. Just do your best to help your daughter, but lose the guilt part.
