It has nothing to do with my own parents though, they were about the only positive factor (if all parents were like that, there would be much fewer ****ed up kids) but that's all I'm going to say about it, I don't want to open up this can of worms any further.
However, I've far from really dealt with it and I know (as you said) that it would have SOME sort of impact on any attempt from my side to raise a child. Figured I should just not then, take the safe route.
EDIT: That's an interesting point here that has come up though: am I the only one who doesn't want to have children around here??
