I hear you loud and clear. I have average looking parents, and an average brother who is 1.yrs older than me. Then, WHOOPS! I came along, and: "oh looky, it's deformed!" (Craniostenosis, partial cleft palate, open bite, over bite, eyes too wide apart...all this to say I'm legitimately not kidding when I use the term "deformed.")
I've had multiple reconstructive plastic surgeries. Still ugly. Better than I was though, especially in terms of jaw functioning & bite.
But, nope, no apology from parents for doing this to me or keeping me here. I don't even think they think it was wrong to do...
But, if I ever had kids, and one turned out like me, it would definitely be abortion time. I know how much I've suffered, and I wouldn't want someone else to go through that just because of my selfishness (ahem...I mean 'parental love').
