16. My children's mother did not want to be a mother.

Dec 2021

She was okay with the first child, but absolutely furious when she became pregnant again.
I was thrilled to find out it was twins. She got madder. When the twins were about a year
and a half, she ran off with another guy. I asked her "What about the kids?" She said calmly,
"I don't want them, I only had them because you wanted them." She wasn't cut out to be a
mother. She felt trapped and needed to "be free".
The kids turned out great, healthy, well educated, and all of them make more money than I do.
I'm a very lucky guy. (with a vasectomy).
