    Try to live your life in such a way that you don’t create a human being with a large portion of their personality shaped by how much they don’t like you.

      I mean I’m disabled. I’ve met the children and grandchildren of disabled adults. I have met one, only one, that didn’t viscerally hate their parents and grandparents. Big reason why I don’t have any.

        There are many reasons that you may be unable to properly care for a child. Many of them are not your fault, but it’s still important to know your limits and not make them someone else’s problem unnecessarily. Kudos on that.

          thank you. I’ve dealt with most of my demons around the issue, but i very rarely get validation on any of it. folk like you are why the fediverse is one of my favorite places.
