I’ve recently learned that while people may be born with genes that predispose them to violence and crime they are unlikely to fulfill them with decent parenting. What a relief. I guess there can still be surprises but I find a lot of comfort in knowing the worst monsters in the world were abandoned or abused by their parent and my SB will never have to experience or become such a person. A bit irrational to even contemplate, I guess, but since sociopaths have always fascinated me I’m happy to know actively playing a loving role in my son’s life really will make a big impact in the world by ensuring he won’t turn into the next Jeffery Dahmer.
