But what about the results of that year on the child. Has she enjoyed her life so far? Would it have been better that she never existed? How about all the people that the child and now grown woman has given love to? Perhaps this same woman has saved someone's life...perhaps a fire or traffic accident or just being a good listener. Your viewpoint was for the mother. There are reactions to our actions. Sometimes we must bare the results for our actions. Mine is also for the child. Did a family that could not have a child adopt her and did she brighten their lives? I think my point has been made. Any comment? I have worded this improperly, I should have said YOU at each time I said child. I am quite sure YOU have had an impact on the world that the world would have been lesser for if your mother had not been so coragious

The most significant people in a child's life are the parents who are raising them. Often times the mother stands at the forefront of significance in a child's life. The most powerful reward, reinforcer, motivator, need, etc in a child's life is knowing the approval of the significant adults in their life. Knowing disapproval from a parent has an equal and opposite effect. To me, children are a joyful blessing. I often wonder at how I could be deserving of mine. It boggles me to know that children are unwanted. It amazes me to know that a child would be raised, aware that their existence, in and of itself, is a source of disapproval from their mother. You revere your mother and that is nice. You are a living apology for something that you had no hand in, that is not so nice. Your attitude toward the children of your culture is guilt laden. You don't have to "make everything ok" for your mother and you don't have to repeat the cycle. There are lots of places a woman feeling guilt can hide away. It can even be in a career. I suspect that is not news to you.
