Nobody can prepare you for the loss of a parent.

I came from a single parent household. And I had a bad example of what a husband and father could be and how irresponsible a father could be. So because of that, I didn't want to get married or have kids.

My mom was a single parent.

I made the conscious decision to not have kids, and I didn't want to be married.

I never wanted children; maybe I'm afraid of responsibility.

I was a single mother when my child was little.

I was an unhappy child, and that puts me off having a child of my own.

I've never had to fend for a child's life, which sounds very terrifying.
