As a child of Baby Boomers, they really never wanted an answer - they just wanted to complain about something. And they probably never wanted to be parents in the first place.

God, it sucks to be a child of parents that never wanted children

Like I get that it was the social expectation but c'mon, what the hell, you brought me into existence, and for what?

My mom aborted my brother because she didn't want a son. I think it was for the best. She was a manipulative abusive pos to my sister and I. I hate to think how she would have treated him.

That hits hard because if I wasn't adopted, that was almost my fate. Guess I wouldn't have known either way...

But I'm glad I'm here, and I'm glad you and your sister are here. We can make this place better for each other. 🫂

It really do be falling on our few generations, huh? Fixing shit? Guess you're right. I'm glad you got a chance at life with people who wanted you. I'm glad you're alright.
