10. So, so horrible. And so just ... weird. This phenomenon. I don't get it.

I'm thinking about being a parent (esp. a mom) and having to decide when you're going to tell your baby girl that this happened to her?

Imagine if you felt like you could've/should've prevented it?

Aside from the question of what age to tell her, it could be argued ... maybe you never tell her? Maybe that's actually better?

I mean maybe she's gay and/or maybe she's not interested in children in the long run for whatever reason, and just ... never finds out?

Does she NEED to know, does it cause more harm than good, etc?

How old can she get before you tell her, before she ends up resentful that you didn't tell her earlier? At what point is she 'old enough' that 'knowing' is the best thing?

I just can't even imagine this whole freaking thing.

So horrific.

And at the same time ... bizarre.

How do some men end up BEING like this?
