Bless you, Sarah. You are my antinatalist soul mate. Those tweets are simply my past. They actually happened. Nothing can be done to help it. It is shocking, though, that parents can be so oblivious to their own child's pain and suffering, isn't it?

I cannot say it any better, my lady. I am a walking, talking wound. A wound time can't erase. I've spent my whole life trying to recover something from my childhood that, in retrospect, probably never existed. Chasing a phantasm.

True that. But what they did to me wasn't accidental. It was downright neglect. Denying a child dental care when their face is swollen in pain and agony... I would not do that even to someone else's child, much less my own... I wouldn't do that to a pet...

My dad had the money. He just didn't want to help me. Fuckin asshole. And I was slaving for him at his job, with no pay. I shoulda killed him, when I was still a minor. I'd gotten out of lockup in a few years with good behavior.

The beatings, the shaming, the guilting, that they laid on me from early childhood on up had me so conflicted and fucked up, I have yet to unravel it. Stockholm Syndrome. Plus, I guess I'm just fuckin weak. I regret I didn't kill them and burn the house down.

The children's interests always take a back seat to the parents' interests. The whole "We're havin a baby!" bullshit is not about the baby, it's about the parents... aren't they special? No one's ever had a baby for the sake of the baby. It's always for them
