Venting I think I want to have children

[struggles_inc]

I know. Not a place for me to talk about it. But…

I've quit drinking since last year. There has been a one-time relapse I instantly regretted the next morning because my body isn't accustomed to alcohol anymore.
I think I'm quitting smoking now. Doing it less and less.

I've been considering this a lot. What I want in life, what brings me joy. If someone knows me on this website, they might remember I run a business and try to maintain appearances. But my heart only warms up when I think about being a parent.

I think I want to become a better version of myself so that I will be able to love my child unconditionally. And I will need to better my mental health too, because there won't be any ways out once someone becomes fully dependent on me. Even though I already feel that with my company and my aging family.

I'll try and do my best to become worthy of being a parent. I really hope I can.
I don't know if that's morally repulsive on my side or not. Not sure if I… invite judgement.

I would say it's very risky. I wish I had not done it. Passing on my issues and all. But everyone here is different. You seem successful. Make sure to pass the work ethic along if you do it

Well if you will have enough money, basic psychological knowledge, time and other resorces, you will be ready to change your life for your child's needs and you will be aware that they can born dusabled, our planet will be habitable and suitable for bringing a new human being to the world-
If you are aware of all of these things and ready for them, sure - be a great parent :3
