I have said for years, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I want to come back sterile....I don’t regret having all the children I have, but going through it once is enough....
Well, you are sterile in your mind, so congratulations.
I never get to vent but this has prompted me to. I had one child 20-something years ago in my youth. Her father and I did what we felt was right- got married, gave up freedom and friends, and found steady work. I loved this little girl and cared about her happiness and well-being over anything else, as it should be. When she got into her early teens she became verbally abusive towards me. I mean, really personal and nasty. She has gotten physical a couple times since she’s become an adult and just as everything seems to be getting better she’ll get in one of her belittling moods creating discord and then gets mean with name calling. She has sadistic tendencies. Ironically my grandchild happens to have a beautiful spirit. Has been the light of my life these past years. However, sorry to say but my daughter has brought much sorrow to my life :(
