[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent years advocating for people with disabilities but I also spent years in the criminal justice system and I think knowing how awful this world can be I would not personally want to bring a disabled child into it, because eventually I would not be there to protect them. Other people see the world differently and are more hopeful about human nature. I’m sorry that some people have made you feel bad about having your child but consider that they may not be coming from a place of judging your child as underserving of being here, but rather as terribly vulnerable. It’s certainly a more pessimistic outlook but it isn’t intended as cruelty to you they more likely feel sympathy for the anxiety you will no doubt carry all your life and more as you age and know your child will be at the mercy of strangers for years after you are gone.[/quote]
So what, think what you want, but you have no business having a discussion like this about a child who already exists. That is incredibly rude and it turns *you* into a person from whom OP needs to protect their child.[/quote]
Also, I don’t think OP is complaining that people are making her feel bad about having her child, she is irritated that strangers are judging her and putting her in a position where she feels she has to explain her reasons (she doesn’t) or risk people believing things that are untrue (lack of information, anti-choice, etc).[/quote]
