I am well aware that on this issue I am unlikely to be supported, on the contrary, condemned, but I want to express my opinion. Tell me, why do poor people who have done absolutely nothing in this life give birth to children? For what purpose? To procreate the same poverty? Why don’t they think about what awaits such children? Why would they do that?
I come from such a family – my parents have accomplished absolutely nothing in this life. They have no education, no profession, not even a home of their own. All they did was give birth to me and my 4 other sisters. Why? Yes, it looks like I’m not happy about being born. But I was.
All my childhood I was constantly insulted that I was poor, that my mother was a janitor and my father was a handyman. Teachers said that I would never grow up to be anything good and that my fate was either on the track or in the gutter. What did I do to deserve all this? Only because my parents were not what they should have been. And for that I’m angry at them, so I don’t keep in touch.
Still, I pulled myself together, worked hard, went to university, paid my own tuition. I reached a position in life, now I have everything. But my poor past does not leave me.
Especially since my fiancé is from a rich family, and his parents are educated, intelligent people. I feel out of place. I am even ashamed to see them. What to do – I don’t know. Poverty is always in my head and those gray days when I was reproached for it.
