@vslashwr To survive the feeling of unworthiness and jealousy. Once you understand why you do it,.you realize you don't need it, because your past and story and journey are unique and your worthy by identity ... So you can let them go.
Nah. Nobody is ever prepared. Poor and not very intelligent people have great kids all the time.
The most responsible thing is to understand yourself, your fears, and know exactly why you do what you do. The important thing is to.learn the lesson, to let go of fears, of attachment... Not to have or not have kids.
