    I’ll elaborate on that some black sheep have larger undiagnosed issues due to historical not knowing better. I have a large extended family with a tonne of undiagnosed ADD. the black sheep uncle has said ADD coupled with substance abuse/addiction issues. When you take that with the prevailing society 40 years ago you can guess which way it went. Fast forward his son also has substance abuse/addiction issues and diagnosed bipolar along with undiagnosed ADD. I personally have diagnosed ADD and undiagnosed mania.

    Point being, many black sheep are probably just a victim of the times and a lack of understanding.
