Oh I made the choice that I will not be having kids, ever, before I got out of highschool.
Not primarily out of spite.
Primarily because I recognize that my upbringing was fucked up enough that it fucked me up, no matter how much therapy I’ve done. There are echoes and tendencies of them… and scars from them…
And also, apparently my mother (and her brother) have a literally novel form of neuropathy… like, they discovered the unique genetic sequence/mutation in them.
So just no, I’m ending this genetic and epigenetic line with myself.
Maybe, maybe if I’m ever not broke and crippled and near destitute, I would consider adoption, but unless my fortunes dramatically improve, not in the cards.
I hope you’ll break the cycle with your kids!

Same, but because of clinical depression. Won’t pass that “gift”.
Well, if nobody’s told you they care about you today, I do.
Hope things are goin at least ok, that something fun or neat happened to ya in the last couple of days.
