You know, I always hated that quote and now I know why.
Also, I did not like kids at all, I hated kids. I got pregnant by accident and I took the little monster and raised him like a pro. (Meaning, I was his MOM, I was not his therapist, when he needed professional help, l GOT it for him. STAT.)
Now, I adore ALL kids (well most of them) and have spent my life importing some sanity into YOUNG people's lives. I feel good about it. I mean... I was effective. I was also CHEAP for the majority of my time as a therapist, I was working with AHCCCS (state funded
insurance.)
I'm kind of bummed. I raised a sane kid in an insane world. While it is serving him well in the business world, which STILL has SOME sane properties, I am worried... That he will never find a woman sane enough to deserve him and birth all my grandkids.
I have considered calling some of my ex clients around his age who I'm pretty sure turned out great, but I'm not sure it's ETHICAL.
I mean, I'm not the one dating them but... Yeah, it's not ethical.
I'm SO glad I had the accidental kid but MAN these DAZYE.
