I have heard and seen countless parents, especially mothers calling their child or children a mistake and it baffles me how a human being created by God is a mistake. That you don't understand the essence of a thing or a person does not make that person or a thing a mistake.
You may have been an illegitimate carrier so to say but that does not make what you carry a mistake
Sadly, I find this syndrome more among married couples. How sad can it get?
Today is not for singles but the married folks.
Nothing has more meaning than what you give to it. When you call that child a mistake because according to you, you didn't want a baby anymore but you had se.x every time without protection. The meaning you give to a thing will affect your disposition towards that thing.
A child you see as a mistake is a child you won't pay kin attention to in terms of care, love, nurturing, provision, etc. Some can merely provide but no covering as a parent.
We are all consequences of our actions and choices per time. Even if it's your 10th child, he or she is not a mistake.
How come the children are always the mistakes, not we adults that made the decision and took the actions?
I believe there is a level you reach in life that mistake is not tenable as an excuse, you rather take responsibility for that choice and action.
No child is a mistake, no excuse is tenable enough to label any child a mistake even in circumstances beyond our control in genuine cases of rape. There is still light at the end of the tunnel.
Your child is divinely coded to fulfill purpose no matter the circumstances they came. Believe it or leave, it won't change this truth.
