if you have one parent that is mentally challenged there is a good chance that you will have a mentally challenged child.
Jenn Bertrand is now raising a child that lived most of her life with a mentally challenged person. She is at an extremely low level in school. She also adopted his behaviors and mannerisms. She has a limited view of the world. She has become a challenging child even though she is not mentally challenged. It's almost like she has the door shut in her world and doesn't know that she can open it. I would say that everyone can love but there is a lot more to parenting than that.
