I'm not emotionally fit enough to be a parent

Could you imagine if this happened to your kid?

"The prosecutor brought charges Monday against nine teenagers, saying their taunting and physical threats were beyond the pale and led the freshman, Phoebe Prince, to hang herself from a stairwell in January

[...]

In the Prince case, two boys and four girls, ages 16 to 18, face a different mix of felony charges that include statutory rape, violation of civil rights with bodily injury, harassment, stalking and disturbing a school assembly." NYT

My parental response would be to hunt-down every one of those little fuckers, climb into their rooms while they sleep, and squeeze the life out of them ... whispering in their ear,

"I found you asleep you foul little demon, your sins die with you, unforgiven, staining your wretched soul. No God for you, just Hell and damnation and torment."

See, that's not normal. I shouldn't have children.

Well, what does that say for me because this was the first thing you and I agreed on for the past several weeks. And, you may remember, I am a parent.

no one enters parenthood prepared to deal with the death of one's child, especially not on such horrific terms. such a response hardly makes you unfit.

if there's one thing that both parties can agree on, it's violent revenge.
