Mental illnesses should never be an excuse for bad behavior but as someone who has gone through a chronic depression I can understand people who behave in some unconventional ways under different illnesses. Looking back at the time when my depression was at its peak I can only cringe at myself. I was self-centered, arrogant and ignorant, angry and sad all the time and I didn’t care what other people thought about me and I couldn’t bring myself to take their advice. At the bottom of my heart I knew I wouldn’t even use their advice. Later down the years I did go to professional therapy and it helped me a lot. But if I got advice from my parents or my sibling I would get angry and at worst violent. I hated myself for that. Those times were the absolute worst years of my life.

I started to learn more learn about myself and better myself since I had more room, physically and mentally. What I’m trying to say with all this is that there is no excuse for one’s behavior.

Unforeseen circumstances arise, that might force them into a situation that makes it seem like the way gave birth without proper plan to the child or children. Only women can have children. So, if you’re referring to women that have children, and are in a predicament, of having to rely on assistance, then perhaps you should be directing your question to men.

Not using those words, but the implications are there. I don’t want to point out the religions, with these teachings. So there are numerous reasons, why parents are forced, to ask for help. So maybe we should not point fingers, but find solutions. If there were child care policies in place to help these families, so they can work full time, I’m sure it would be less, then continue giving them welfare, which is rife with abuses.
