My decision was more around recognizing as a teenager that due to my upbringing I did not have the tools to properly raise a well adjusted human being. And rather than make the same mistake my parents did, I just opted out.
I got to help raise a step son later in life and think I did a decent job. But I’ve never regretted my decision to not have my own biological children.
