My parents had no moral leg to stand on since I was conceived in the back of my dad's car before they were married and only got married because she was preggers. Then they divorced when I was four. They really weren't compatible and I'm actually glad they split up. I would have had a much more miserable of a childhood had they stayed together. 

 

My mom and stepdad put the fear of God and fear of the belt in my mind. Plus, I never wanted kids. That's not to say I didn't dally, but I was actually more afraid of having a kid than what God thought or how a belt would feel. I did end up having a daughter and her father raised her after a short but terrifying time of he and I trying to do it. Some are not mentally built to parent and I am one of them. Thankfully he was and she turned out alright.
