@LiamGilmartin When a child is unwanted for whatever reason, that child does not have a good life with those parents; Women being bullied, intimidated or ‘persuaded’ to have children has no good outcome for those women or those children.

@HarriettMB @LiamGilmartin I am such a child. My mother wasn't ready for children and doesn't have the disposition for it. She would have been happier had she aborted me and like my brother later who was a wanted child, the child that would have been me would have been loved instead 'ruining her life' and being the cause of her dropping out of school and weight gain while reminding her of the man who left her with a bastard child.
Growing up as an unwanted bastard sucks from every direction.
