No matter how tough things are, I know I'm still blessed. One of my old bosses had 4 kids. The youngest, a girl, caught some kinda weird virus in the womb, and ended up... I dunno the term.... She's doesn't have Down's. It's worse than that. She 16, but with the mind of a 1 year old. Brutal.
That, and my brother might be sterile. He had cancer at 7, and the treatments might have done it. But hopefully... he just had an operation to fix a vein "down there" that might help, so we'll see. You wanna talk about family planning... we've briefly talked about me donating "genetic material" and his wife having in-vetro. I actually wanted to get fixed, but I'm holding off until we know what he's going to do. It's a weird discussion, about them using random donated genetic material (trying to keep it clinical!) vs. coming from me, so at least it would be close to him in a way.. That's an even harder discussion to have with my wife.
