This article provides an insight into the under-explored lives of parents with mental illness. In particular, thisarticle considers the experiences of parents with mental illness who grew up with parents who also had mentalillness, or experienced issues related to violence, abuse and neglect during childhood. Due to the dearth of research in this area there is minimal insight into how parents experience mental illness and even less signifi-cance is placed on exploring how intergenerational mental illness and backgrounds of violence, abuse andneglect impact on parenthood. This qualitative study generates information about how intergenerational familymental illness, and other issues identified in the course of the study, affected the participants’ experiences of being a parent.
