Do you think people sit and ask themselves questions before making decisions?
Maybe... Just maybe, if they did, if parents had asked themselves important questions, including the most basic one which happens to be "why do I want kids", we won't have so many young people living with trauma
"Children are a blessing" they say, and when the child doesn't fit their definition of a "blessing", or doesn't follow the path that "blessings" follow, resentment starts to form.
That's why Samuel cannot pick his mother's call, because she'd remind him that he's a failure because he hasn't been able to get a job since graduation.
That's also why Sarah dreads going home, even for holidays, because they keep reminding her that she's a disgrace, because she hasn't gotten married at 35
It's the same reason why Mummy Vicky cannot take Vicky to visit her grandparents, because there's a constant reminder there that she got married to a poor man.
Maybe, if they had done the necessary evaluation, they'd have realized that they had wounds that needed to be healed, and they would not have spilled the blood on a whole lot of us.
Maybe, we would not have to feel like we owe our parents our life because they provided for us.
Maybe, they won't be 18 and 19 year olds out there with kids😪
I'm just going to go ahead and say it as it is. A lot of people SHOULDN'T be allowed to have children.
