Have you personally known someone born as a result of r@pe or incest? Did people treat them with compassion or scorn?

Uh, the mom who didn't want the kid. The grandparents who didn't want their daughter's life destroyed.

Are you stupid?

My mom didn't have me by rape but literally told me she only wanted a son. She treated me badly my entire life, especially since she had her son 18 months later. I was essentially neglected, and severely emotionally neglected. I can only imagine if I was born to her by a rapist. I spent most of my life wondering why she didn't kill me when my brother was born. I wish she had.

so sorry 😔

One of my closest friends growing up was adopted. She met her birth mom when we were teenagers and found out that she was the result of a rape.

My friend told her boyfriend at the time, and her boyfriend broke up with her because he didn't want to associate with a rapist's kid. He was an ass.

Thank God that children or at least my child doesn't pay attention to adult conversations. I was a single Mom, had him out of wedlock and there was a DV conviction on his Dad when I left as a result of the DV. I had some people, usually religious ones, say nasty things to my face.

It sounds like you were not treated well as a child. Please don't repeat the cycle by being unnecessarily nasty to others who did no harm to you.

I think everyone else took the question as implying meeting someone born in that circumstance, not the family of the child from before the incident.

My teacher friend had a child whose parents were brother and sister and was being raised by the grandmother. Incest is illegal in Virginia so the sibling parents moved away and relinquished rights to the grandmother. The child had severe learning issues but behavioral wise was very sweet and seemed normal (for lack of a better word). We have no idea how he’s doing today but I definitely worried about him in a public school setting with his learning challenges. We only knew because it was relevant for his teaching plan. It was not discussed outside of that, no other kids seemed to know and he had friends and was treated fine.

People born of this often don't know. But with dna testing, it's starting to come out, and the problem is more widespread than most would have thought.

Empathetic much?

You're mean on an anonymous board and expect others to be different?

Agree. I think the family should abort the baby or put them up for adoption. Don't keep the kid or tell them how they were born. No one deserves to feel unwanted or unloved.

My understanding is that the number of incestuous and closely related cousins on the nearest branches of family tree increases the likelihood of genetic issues. We all have tree collapses in our backgrounds. Marrying cousins isn’t as culturally acceptable as it once was even 100 years ago. I’ve helped people with their genealogical research and it is shocking how many Europeans back then married first and second cousins. It isn’t everybody obviously but it is way more than you’d expect.

Brother/sister is much closer, genetically and emotionally, than 1st or 2nd cousins but I hear what you're saying and have read similar. The pervasiveness of the incest across generations of a family has a much bigger impact than a one off every 100 years, which is why you see those pervasive issues crop up with groups like the FLDS or the Whitakkers of West Virginia where it's basically standard practice and less so when some second cousins who met twice and dont have a cluster pattern of this have kids. Some level of inbreeding was extremely common for centuries amongst many cultures so it seems like there is some kind of threshold before it becomes a real issue. At least genetically.

How was I mean?

PP called another poster "stupid." I just asked pp not to be nasty to someone who did nothing to her.

I’ve seen people especially on anonymous boards like this say how these people should not exist. What are you supposed to do about something you had no control over?

FWIW my understanding of incestuous means relations between siblings, or parent and child, or grandparent and child. All others like first and second cousins I understand to be close relations but not incestuous though plenty of scrutinize first cousin relationships more presumably with blood tests or some other ways of determining that there are too many close shared ancestors.

So, we agree.

As an aside, it was hard, particularly in remote places, to find people not related to each other. And I don’t mean Alaskan tundra region remote. So many people in rural European villages / parishes are almost all related.

OMG no learn genetics before spewing.

Those FLDS and Whitakkers like their children dumb it's called a cult.

The pro life crowd is stupid for a reason. Control of women and children.

There is going to be way more of this moving forward you can thank MAGA for all the privatizing of maternity homes and orphanages that are coming.

Researches estimate the incidence of rape of women in the occupied are was upwards of 75% by Red Army soldiers.

Obviously there were numerous resulting pregnancies, and likely very few terminations in that resource-deprived area in that era immediately following the end of the war.

Well, that certainly answers OP's question.

Lol (not at the topic, obviously)
