That is so scary!

I feel so fortunate I was able to get as far along as I was, and that he was 5lbs at birth. We had very few problems, but it was scary to me how tiny he was. Preemie clothes were huge on him.

I’ve said the same about never doing it again. Luckily we had also agreed on two, and already had one. We are done.

This is exactly how my parents fucked me over around 24 years ago. The difference is I had always dreamed of higher education, and had been talking about college since elementary school. They knew I wanted to go, and did not care. I never even asked for money or help with a loan, only their information. They refused. When I asked why, they would either give me the silent treatment or tell me that we weren’t poor, and they wouldn’t let me accept a handout. Like I could pay for college with the few grand I had saved from working.

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m still really bitter. Getting well paying jobs has been a struggle, and I always got passed over on promotions for a college educated person. I often wonder how my life could have been if I’d only had that opportunity.

I hope things work out for you and you’re able to get the education you want.
