Statistics suggest that due to my own horrible childhood, I won't be a very good parent. I'd like to think that I'm mature and evolved enough to be able to avoid the mistakes my parents made, but if it was really that simple to avoid physical abuse and neglect, why couldn't my parents manage it? They're not dumb people.

I guess we'll see. I still plan on adopting and raising the cast-off children of others in a middle-aged attempt to stave off death with progeny of any kind.

Maybe I'll be just as bad as my parents were. But even if they were deplorable ass hats, my parents still did right by me somehow. I mean, my childhood was shit, but my adulthood is pretty consistently awesome, rewarding, incredible and unreal.
