i have had this thought but i have a different perspective that maybe is helpful for someone   yes i have ocd and my child has up to what like a 25 chance assuming the second parent doesnt not great that said everyone has something theres no one on earth who has not suffered from something maybe its crohns maybe its drug addiction maybe its gad depression ibs cancer migraines arthritis psoriasis--whatever everyones got somethings as far as i see it ocd isnt the worst thing to have its one of the most treatable mental illnesses and in my experience its really given me a deep and significant appreciation for life and certain experiences that im not sure i ever would have had if my something was treated with just a pill or surgery  we all have ocd on this sub but i have to imagine im not alone in saying im still happy to be alive its a 1 in a bajillion chance that im here to experience pizza and edgar wright and love and kittens and yes fear and sadness and everything else if my father who had ocd had decided not to have children then its not like i would have been born to some fantasy couple with no illnesses or strife   and frankly id much rather my kid had ocd than something like crohns because i know ocd i know how its treated i could recognize it right away with crohns wed be starting from square one  anyway obviously not everyones perspective but its one that makes me feel grounded
