Genetic testing should be done if one wants to have children provided that they don’t inherit a defective gene that could cause health problems after birth.

When around my father I just want to give up at life and just die, he has never worked a day in his life, he a crack head/drug head, he very unhealthy, he never supported me, he blames his problems on everyone else, he has full common sense but refuses to use the brain god gave him, he calls everyone the devil who’s doing better then him, he says in order to be successful you have to give your soul to satan, hes a leach, he’s 50 and still lives with his mother but his father was a very successful man (he was a boss and owned business) my father has more then a hundred lazy bones in his body, I’m 20 Nd black of color what I inherited from him walking into man hood was bad hygiene, bad health, I never peaked, missing teeth, doubt that I will be somebody and confusion on how to be a man / my mom is a hardworking mother and father and what I inherited from my mom was to never give up no matter how bad my situation is and a hardworking work ethic on the job and positive mindset off the job

sorry to hear about that. I pray that God will help you recover and build a better life. And also, for your dad to realise his way of living needs to change. God helps people who are willing to change so I hope he does.
