I don't get the whole thing about being depressed when you find out that you were an unplanned pregnancy, a 'mistake'. I know I was, and I can make a pretty good guess that at least a couple of my friends were too. I guess it's the danger of being a first child.
When my parents told me my conception had been accidental I was an adult. They should never have had children, apparently, something to do with a defect in either Mum or Dad's blood. It's not like it changes anything. I'm here regardless of whether it was planned. And my childhood was a hell because of thier various insanities, not because I was 'unwanted'.
Yeah. My parents were insane when I was a kid. My neighbors didn't even know I was there until they noticed a set of play equipment we were given for Christmas. Dad had work that year.
So I was pretty much kept a prisoner. I wasn't allowed to mix with the neighborhood kids, I wasn't allowed to visit anyone after school. That's gotta do wonders for someone's ability to socialise. I think me reminding Mum and Dad of this hurts them more than I get hurt by the whole 'contraception failing' thing I wore.
