20 years old, male...Just bored and sayin' whats up for now...

I just read an article on how our fears grip us. I thought I’d share it with you. It’s a good read, very insightful. You can read it at http://www.oneworldacademy.com/gallery/ ... f-fear.php

Here's the deal.

My mother has been an alcoholic my entire life (I'm 21). My biological father was also an alcoholic and she claims that he is the reason she is one.

I'm afraid that if my daughter's bio dad finds out I have emotional illnesses he will be able to use this against me in court to take custody of my daughter.
I haven't been hospitalized in years, and only once then, and I am controlled on medication- enough that my children aren't in danger. He doesn't know about my problems, but I'm afraid he could find out (I'm not sure how... but it's always possible). ...
