Hey, I was born at 24 weeks. I haven't met anyone who was such a preemie like i was! i also struggle with those feelings, though my home life wasn't nearly as terrible as yours is. But I often think "WHY ON EARTH did I survive such miniscule chances (less than 10%), with NO long-term side effects in order to accomplish nothing in the world and hate myself?!"

i get it.
