Dear Grey Heron:

“maybe I already know the answer”- if the question is “Are you interested in being a parent?”, I think you know the answer (no). If the question is “Will you be a parent OR lose me?”- that answer may be an unknown.

For the best interest of a child, better both parents are able and willing. It is such a heavy duty commitment and it requires so very much to do a responsible job at it, day in and day out, year after year, that better not have a child without a Yes, said with conviction, to the first question.
