My family suffers from generations of inherited trauma and mental illness, I don’t want to pass it on. Basically I don’t believe I’ve healed enough, or that I’m immune from perpetuating that harm.
And I can’t reasonably afford it. If I had a child, I would want to be in a much better place financially so they will have the best possible future. This means I would want to have the money to guarantee them access to transportation, education, healthcare, healthy food, etc. - I have failed to ensure those things for myself, how can I provide them for another person?
