The societal & familial pressure I endured in relation to my entering a relationship with a person of the opposite sex (and having children) was intense. So much so that it resulted in my first SA at the age of 34. I'm now 56 and my not being a parent still hurts. I try to ease this hurt with the thought that I wouldn't have made a good parent - CPTSD, BPD, MDD, GAD, chronic suicality, etc. One of the lessons I learned in my lengthy stays in a psychiatric hospital was to stop worrying about (&/or blaming yourself for) things that are outside of your control. Finally, "opposite action" is one of the things taught in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - e.g., rather than dwelling on what could go wrong, focus on what could go well.

Very powerful and a bit terrifying. I'm a trans woman in the US. I have never personally wanted children, but even if I did I couldn't justify bringing a child into the world we are currently living in. I can be nurturing in other ways and that will have to be enough.
