24. When I was young, I used to think "bad things will never happen to me"

Boy was I wrong. I know people who do not want kids for a lot of reasons. Some have a lot of serious mental illness in their family. Some were exposed to agent orange and are fearful. Some have genetic conditions of all sorts and are fearful. I remember going to a steak restaurant, the place used to care for people with severe mental and physical disabilities. Turned into a restaurant. There was an old couple there eating with a person who had to be 40, in a wheelchair making spastic movements. It sure looked like this poor old couple had been taking care of this person their whole life. I hope no one is insulted by this post, but it was tragic.
