Has your situation meant you were unable to have children or did you decide to not have children because you felt you were unable to give them the life you wanted to? Have you been judged for your decisions when others with the same disability or illness decided to have children? Have people compared your life to theirs and dismissed the reality of your situation? Have people been surprised to discover you wanted children because they made assumptions based on your health/ability. Have you been made to feel like a fraud because “you don't look ill”? Has anyone dismissed your grief and implied you are childfree because they don’t understand you made the toughest of decisions?
