My mother was raised by a narcissist, and although she (probably) isn't one herself, she still took on some of his traits, which have distorted my childhood and as a result the person I am as an adult as well. I don't like kids. But even if that changed, I do not believe I should become a mother, because I believe I would not be able to prevent myself from becoming an abusive one. I'm too maladapted to take on the responsibility of a child and I know that, so I don't ever intend to have one. I don't want to repeat the same cycle my family has been in for three generations. That can end with me.

ok. focus on your health and see what happens. strengthen your willpower by visualizing having kids, and how having a healthy mind and attitude would be while spending time with them. and if it happens, and you get better, you can be proud of yourself. if it never happens, at least you got to try
Pfft, no. Like I said, I don't even like kids, and honestly pregnancy as a whole freaks me out. There's a lot of reasons I wouldn't want to have children, and no bit of sadness in me about the prospect of never having them. I'm totally cool with being childless.
Absolutely I would like to focus on my health, although at this stage in my life, it's proving difficult. I intend to better myself, but for the sake of myself and my partner, not for the sake of future children.
