I'm not a parent, though I'm not sure if I want to be one at this point in time. In short, with the genetic disorder I have, I have a 50/50 shot at passing it down to my child. As far as having a biological child, a lot of hard conversations and proper planning would have to be made with my partner. I really don't know.
Have you ever been someone's caregiver?

Fear is the mind-killer.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
