[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664090, member: 1550"] I WAS talking bad about myself. I did not want to have a kid who had as many challenges as I did. or the rest of the crew. So, yes, I did not want to reproduce myself or anyone else of my DNA. My sister appeared to have three well adjusted kids to me, but I don't know them. I do know one of them was in therapy early and had issues. For all I know, they ALL have issues. If they don't, their children may. My family members are NOT normal. We have little DNA collection left. One day it will probably no longer exist.I really don't think that's a bad thing, if it happens. I don't consider this denigrating myself. Just being realistic. In my adoption group a woman had a beloved son with muscular dystrophy. He was their biological child, their only one. They did not beieive in abortion and knew that if they had a boy he'd have a 50% chance of having this deadly childhood disease. Well, they took the chance. I would not have. He died at 19. The familly had adopted many other kids, but most had been adopted older and were not doing well. The man started drinking and the marriage started going bad, but last I heard they were still together. I think it is appropriate to decide to have biological kids or not have them based on what you know about your DNA. None of my family had deadly diseases, except of the heart, Copa. And that is so sad. And I don't think it is environmental. You can love or you can't. You have empathy or you don't. You are compassionate or you're not. They are starting to learn that antisocial personality disorder runs in families. I can't think of anyone antisocial on my DNA tree, but narcissism is rampant and it can also be inherited. I see borderline too. Maybe I DO or DID have traits and I know my mother did and my sister does. I was not vain enough to want to reproduce myself. Or anyone I grew up with. I did not need to give birth to love enough to die for. The circle of life. [/QUOTE]
