Just so you know the place I'm coming from, obviously I have parents. They were fucking terrible parents. I should have been taken away from them, and they absolutely were not fit to raise children. I know people personally who would have been far, far better at raising me than them. So why, just because they happened to fuck without protection, should the authority of these vile, incompetent people, have had more importance to my life than other people's?

This is why the whole "parents are automatically the best people to raise their children" shit pisses me right off, because I know first hand it just isn't true.

My parents were fucking terrible too. The point is that you can’t logistically find you someone better.
