I’d have been a terrible mother.

So would I.

I could barely take care of myself, let alone a young life. Childrearing is a big responsibility (as is marriage), and I'm lucky to have realized it.

I still feel a little wistful, but I know that I cannot compare myself to someone raised with the right family, right values, right environment, right community. I was pretty orphaned.

I’ve posted my opinion here before and have been pig-piled on because of it. Apparently some believe that being a bad parent is better than being childless. The home I was raised in pretty much sucked, too.
