I have a doctors appointment next week bc I'm pretty sure I have ADHD plus ongoing unhealthy belief systems due to my emotionally unavailable mom. Very insightful and I love the emotional safety you guys embody. Greetings from Germany ♥

When I see a parent(s) just being selfish and never considering their children I feel great sadness for the child. The odds are definitely then stacked against them. The only chance you have at a normal life is obviously up to how well your parents are prepared to raise you. I have seen a scant few parents who are willing and able for the rigors of raising children. They're either not fit financially, emotionally, physically, ment ally or a combination of all the aforementioned. When people are struggling the very last thing in the world you need is to bring an innocent child into the world. I've seen people who are hanging on by a thread financially and they'll go out and have children. Then, they become a burden on society, their extended families and the government. Not to mention it's not fair to the child to be raised in an environment like that. Personal responsibility is important in life if you want to have a real life. Just because you want kids doesn't mean you can have one. Honest to God, my neighbor told me the reason she wanted to have a baby was to see what it felt like to have one. I was floored to say the least. There really are so many men tal ly ill people wandering around untreated. Tragic is what it is

I wonder who invented the word kid and who deleted the word child. I wonder could it ever be reversed. I would be very pleased if it could be reversed. Why was the word child not acceptable I wonder.
