    And now these horribly abused children are adults with their own children.

    Thankfully a lot of them are learning to break the cycle of parental mental abuse

        You don’t have to die alone!

        You can get sterilized then start (or join) an anarcho-communist polyamorous commune. If you find the right mix of traumas, it can function really well! Or end in fire. But it will be exciting, and you won’t be alone!

      It deepens like a coastal shelf

      Get out as early as you can

      And don’t have any kids yourself "

        "Get out as early as you can,

        And don’t have any kids yourself. "

        I did not get out early, but my eventual spouse and I were on the same page: the crazy stops with me.

        My sister had different plans and now has two neurodivergent kids. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

          I’m pretty sure that one of my parents and their siblings are all ND. I don’t think it’s terrible, but the unawareness certainly is.
