@itsthewealth4me ๐ฏ Can't stress enough the importance of healing whatever is on the inside, so you can expand your window of tolerance, as you elevate in life ๐๐ฝ
Unhealed wounds dictate decisions, no matter how many degrees we have. ๐
Loving/prioritizing urself truly is the best way 2 begin healing any hurt u've ever experienced.
Loving urself, unconditionally, flaws & all. โจ๏ธ Nothing u do/say should EVER stop u from loving u, hold urself accountable & accept consequences, but NEVER fade on the love โจ๏ธ
I donโt have low racial self esteem, it is actually our history of overcoming and expanding our opportunity that makes me confident in what we can accomplish going forward if it becomes a priority in what we choose to do individually & collectively
Iโm with you & believe in you
@Edugov4me I've seen:
Adult male admits to fathering the child (bcuz 16yrs is the age of consent in DC) DNA test done 2 get child support
Police r involved/Paternity is established/DNA test comes back positive-belonging to the adult male/ he's prosecuted as a result
NCHS also has data
@Edugov4me@ayla_757 I concur, it happens. It's not being avoided. Thanks for adding this additional factor, & it doesn't replace any of the aforementioned reasons. Older men aren't being "blamed" Their child has their DNA. They're being identified/reported.
