hugshelp, thanks for the clarification on your views on m.h. issues and parenting. Its very rare for seriously mentally ill people, eg those with psychosis or schozophrenia for example to pose any threat to their children or other people.
the level of anxiety, depression or ptsd amongst the general population is high. Many of those people will be parents. Again, highly unlikely that parents pose a risk to their children. Parents suffering significant levels of depression/anxiety /substance misuse may be emotionally unavailable to their children at times. None of this makes them abusive parents. Its great that many of us feel less stigmatised, more able to be open about their mh issues.
We all need to care about this, to understand what resources are and should be available. 40 year ago women's groups were organising for eg women's refuge/support for parents. Sadly progress made has been devastated in recent years. Let's get fighting again
