    As a mental health professional i will say that manipulative parents are not able to "turn" someone into a child free person.
    There are a lot people, who grew up to manipulative parents, to abusive, narcissistic parents and were even sexually assaulted by the family members, and they still want their own kids most of all and have them. So it's just a personal thing.

    This confirms what I'd already suspected. Dreams and goals are good but it doesn't have to define if you can lead a fulfilling life, regardless if those goals are met. She decided even if she wanted kids she could be happy without them. She didn't resign herself to a miserable, childless life. She embraced what she already had and it brought her life joy.

      I'm glad someone was able to "Choose happiness." Motivational stuff doesn't actually work for most people.

    That was such a intriguing story, many more years to this couple.

      I'm so glad he was willing to share his story with our community. It's interesting to hear how people go through the decision making process of being childfree.

      @@WifeWithoutKids I remember meeting a couple who were together for 11 years before they found out the other one didn't want offspring. SMH.
      How fake do you have to be to hide that you don't want to be a parent for 11 years

  • @keyhimself3542

    This video is right on time as last night I ran into an ex who left me because I don't want any offspring.
    Me: did you get those kiddos?
    My ex: Yes.
    Me: I'm glad you're happy now.
    My ex: "happy" lol.
    Me: huh?
    My ex: You do realize I haven't slept more than 5 hours a night over the past 9 years, right?
    Me: Well, did you think parenthood would be easy?
    My ex: Nah. But I did think that parenthood would earn me more respect in society. Although it's earned me *less* disrespect, it hasn't earned me *more* respect.
    Me: Told ya.
    My ex: Let's see who's happier at 65.
    Me: See ya in 30 years, bucko (in my Jordan B Peterson voice)

      Pfft. Ok pal hopefully by then it'll be worth it and you can finally be happy. Although, if you're not going to be happy until your kids are grown and out of your hair how does all the trouble contribute to your quality of life?

    Hi Hannah, can you speak to more about people who choose not to have kids because of the mistakes their parents made? Is that a good thing or bad thing? Are there other components at play? This story in this video touched on the idea of not wanting kids because the man felt overlooked by his parents.

    • @WifeWithoutKids
      @WifeWithoutKids  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for this idea. That would be an interesting topic to look into.

      Some people will just scream "Go to therapy" and assume it will actually work.

  • @roxydee1452
    @roxydee1452 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, what a simple yet powerful story! I resonated 100% with what this gentleman was saying. There does not have to be major trauma for one's child-free reasons to have gravity.

    If this was written by the subscriber as you narrated it, keep writing! If not, the end result you delivered is beautiful. I relate a lot to the manipulative mother and the pressure that comes out of nowhere. I appreciate this. Thanks

      Interesting how some of our stories are so similar.

  • @s.n.11
    @s.n.11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It would be great if you could talk or get information about
    - why childfree people that are in a childfree relationship change their mind into having children (for example I've seen it happen in very sudden ways when one of them hit a certain goal in life or a certain age, or after a car accident, which for me personally doesn't make sense... so I'm curious about it.)
    - and how the couple handled that, did they broke up, did they continue?
    - how it is handled by a psychologist in a couple therapy? What can be expected from a couple therapy about this specific topic?
    Thanks for your work and your channel Hanna. It really means a lot.

    • @WifeWithoutKids
