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.


Hug.

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.

The odds are good that those people have a lot of baggage, especially if raised by the victim of rape or the dysfunctional family system in an incest situation. If they are adopted into a loving family as an infant... maybe a different story, but you'd still have the trauma of early separation from the birth mother or the genetic issues of being a product of close relatives.

Guarantee you if you post on the relationship board asking a similar question people will absolutely say it's a red flag and to avoid that person, even though the circumstances of their birth are not their fault.



It gets ugly when a question like this is posted in the relationship forum. It devolves into people saying nasty things about the existence of these children. If I were the product of rape/incest, I’d be very closed lipped.

I know Sgt. Olivia Benson. Everyone is compassionate about it.

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.


And …?

Well, that certainly answers OP's question.

and who would admit it on here?

Weird question, OP.
It reminds me of a post a few years ago where someone suspected that their neighbor was a victim of domestic violence and asked if they should "shun" her? WTH?

My sister had a friend growing up who was the product of rape (his bio father was in prison) and his mom and grandparents were physically and mentally abusive to the point that he ended up emancipated and living with various friends' parents. No one other than his bio family treated him badly.

They either should have gotten way way more counseling or given him up for adoption.

I taught a student that was a product of rape. I’m not sure how people outside of school viewed them or how many knew. At school, the child was treated no differently by those who were aware.

I will say the child had significant behaviors that resulted in eventually being placed in a school for children that were ED. Mom mentioned several times that the child looked just like their father and it was difficult for her to look at them. We helped mom locate free mental health resources as time doesn’t heal all wounds.

I have a lot of compassion for both mom and the child. I can’t imagine what decision I would have made in that same situation.
