I'm really depressed at the moment. As a mother of a child with learning difficulties, and being pregnant with my second child, I have been questioning weather I should have had children or not.
Is it selfish to make a little human being, forcing them into existence and a life they might not want? In life everyone suffers; as a mother am I responsible for all my child's suffering?
When I look back at the reasons I had children I can only see selfishness - I thought having children would make me happy. Is it selfish to have a child to make yourself happy?
Why did you have children?
