Are you concerned any mental disorders, including but not limited to, Psychopathy, Sociopathy, AsPD, BPD, NPD, HPD will be past down? If they are how will you feel and handle it?   Does not apply.

If you do not have kids, are you going to? Why have you made the decision either way? In my case I made the decision not to have kids a long time ago. Once I realized I would actually have killed a child, that was it for me.  I'm a product of both genetics and being made and I was not about to continue the cycle. 

Have you ever gotten someone else pregnant and walked away? Or, have you ever purposely gotten yourself pregnant or told someone you were if you were not?             Yes, one of my most respectable manipulations of someone was when I purposely got pregnant. I had no thought about keeping it and he was not pleased when I announced "something must have broken". Well it did break, with my pin.  I have also faked being pregnant but find that very common.   There was also a time when I got pregnant, it was by accident, and this was before I realized the extent of my disorder(s) and what having a kid would mean.  I wanted the baby. I did have an abortion and to this day in a way I can't express it haunts me.

No

 

How do you feel about parenting?

its fine for some, definitely not my thing. I have no interest in it. I would be a shit parent too so its probably better this way.

 

 If you are not involved in their lives, why?

If I was one I wouldnt be involved.

 

Are you concerned any mental disorders, including but not limited to, Psychopathy, Sociopathy, AsPD, BPD, NPD, HPD will be past down?

not really, I have my reasons why I wouldnt want a kid but that isn't one of them.

 

If you do not have kids, are you going to? Why have you made the decision either way?

I do not want to so probably not. Primarily the reason why I have made this decision is I have never been interested in having a child. It is something that just hasnt appealed to me. added to that the fact that i'd be a terrible parent so those two reasons are why I have made this decision

 

Have you ever gotten someone else pregnant and walked away?

I have not but if I did I probably would.

The decision to have or not have kids

Do you have children? If you do, are you involved in their lives? How do you feel about parenting?  If you are not involved in their lives, why?

I have a daughter and yes, I am involved in her life. Aside from being her mother, I am basically her cook, cleaner, nurse, counselor and teacher - She is currently being home-schooled.

I took her out school when she was in year 9 because she was getting into fights (she got suspended a couple of times), was being rude to the teachers and wouldn't do the work they asked her to do. I got sick of attending welfare meetings.

I don't like parenting at all. Being a parent requires a lot of responsibility and I really don't like responsibility.

Years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

When she was younger I thought she might develop AsPD as she gets older because she was an aggressive and violent child. Not only did she used to punch and bite me whenever she'd get angry, I was told once that she held a kid down in Day Care and was punching into her. That was before my daughter ever started school. I went through quite a few carers with her because they couldn't handle her aggressive temper tantrums.

When she got older, she came home from school in an angry mood one day and was rude to me during a conversation I was trying to have with her. So, I told her she wasn't allowed to play with her friends and then she threatened to stab me. She didn't pick up the knife though, so I wasn't at all concerned.

On another occasion, we were in a store together and she was getting very bored. She told me wanted to blow up the store.

She used to tie her toys up sometimes. One day I found one hanging off my exercise machine with it's arms and legs bound. she had it hanging by a rope around it's neck.

I think the main reason my daughter acted out so much is because she wasn't getting the attention she needed from me. I'm not an affectionate person and I hated spending time with her. Now that she's older though, we have more things in common and home schooling her means we spend a lot more time together. Her behavior has settled down a lot over the years. So, I really don't think she'll develop AsPD now.

My pregnancy was a 'surprise'. I didn't plan to have kids, but when I fell pregnant with my daughter, I saw an opportunity and took advantage of the situation. Having a child has it's benefits when you don't want to work. At least, here in Australia it does anyway.

The decision to have or not have kids

Do you have children? Yes

If you do, are you involved in their lives? No

How do you feel about parenting? People who want children should be put through a rigorous screening process, be licensed and have ongoing supervision.

If you are not involved in their lives, why? I was 15 when I got a 19 yo girl pregnant. She carried the kid and gave him up for adoption.

Are you concerned any mental disorders, including but not
limited to, Psychopathy, Sociopathy, AsPD, BPD, NPD, HPD will be passed
down? Not relevant because I have no intention of ever having a child. The one I have out there was purely an accident. I never wanted kids.

If they are how will you feel and handle it? N/A

If you do not have kids, are you going to? Not no, but hell no.

Why have you made the decision either way? I would be a shit parent and I have no interest in inflicting myself on a child.

Have you ever gotten someone else pregnant and walked away? I didn't 'walk away', but I've never had any contact with the kid.

Or, have you ever purposely gotten yourself pregnant or told someone you were if you
were not?* Can't...no uterus

The decision to have or not have kids

I can only speak for myself. If you are anything like me it wouldn't be a good idea to have a kid. Unless you plan on being a dead beat dad and have nothing to do with your child. That is what I did. I didn't have a kid by choice but because shit happens. My daughter was better off without me in her life. I don't think she realizes what her life could have been if I were to stick around.

Some of you would probably be good parents because you are still trying to figure out who you are. Who knows maybe a kid would open your eyes and change who you think you are. I have seen my daughter 3 times from birth to the present day. The last time I seen her, she was thirteen years old. My mom brought her to see me, because she wanted her to get to know me, and was hoping I would get to know her. 

When they arrived at my place. I remembered thinking my daughter was attractive for a young girl. My mom wanted me to take them to the water park so she could swim and give me and my mom a chance to talk. When I seen my daughter in her bathing suit. I knew I wasn't looking at her the way a normal father should look at his daughter.

That visit was just conformation to myself that I did the right thing by leaving her and her mom. My daughter was nothing but a stranger to me. Just another teenage girl.

Because of how my brain works I don't feel the way I should feel about anyone. They are all just people who walk and talk and get in my way. Nothing more nothing less. They are all just objects that fill whatever need I might be looking for at the time. That is why my daily routine is so important for me to keep. If i were to wonder off to far from it. I would end up back in prison for the rest of my life or dead.

So for now I am content with my surroundings and I hope they don't change. But if they do change. Who knows what I will do to regain some sort of control back in my life.

The decision to have or not have kids

I have no children and have absolutely no desire to have any. Parenting simply doesn't appeal to me.

If I were to have children I'd be slightly concerned that psychopathy might be passed down the line - my old man was a psychopath and a sociopath, and his sister's a psychopath - but although there are three generations of Cluster B Personality Disordered individuals in my family (to the best of my awareness, I'm not one of them), I would not be overly concerned about AsPD being passed down because the lifestyle that I would be able to provide for my offspring is not one generally associated with the development of sociopathy. If, however, I saw the symptoms of Conduct Disorder in one of my children I would intervene as soon as possible.

It sounds like you've made the right choice. It's not necessarily wrong to acknowledge to yourself that your daughter is attractive - my father frequently boasted to his friends that men found me sexy - but if you're looking at her in a way that you know is not appropriate for a father/daughter relationship, then yeah, you probably shouldn't be jumping into the role of a father to her.

Keep in mind, though, that your daughter actually was a stranger to you at that point, so you're not necessarily an incestuous bastard.
