If you had your child 3 years after the suicide attempt it should not be an issue.

Although everything is relevant in a child custody case, you will be able to demonstrate to the Court that you are well, and that you have completed care and treatment for your past issues.

Sure, he can bring it up. And you can bring up the testimony of your last counselor that your healthy and do not have any urges to harm yourself or anybody else. You really need to talk with your attorney about this.
