A man openly shares his innermost thoughts and talks about how he regrets becoming a father. He is worried about his daughter.
Because he can no longer cope with the world and its developments, a man writes an honest text on the social media platform Reddit, which is used by millions of people. He titled it: “I regret becoming a father.”
The man writes anonymously that he loves his four-year-old daughter more than anything “and that’s exactly where the problem lies,” says the poster. Because in his opinion everything is going wrong: “The world is going to the dogs.”
For him, this is partly due to climate change, which keeps him awake at night. He thinks that “people’s ignorance” will ensure that we crash into a catastrophe without stopping. The social injustice that the main culprits for climate change will come out of it the best is something that concerns him.
The man therefore feels guilty towards his daughter. “I am afraid that the world will no longer be worth living in for the rest of her life,” he writes. He would not bring another child into this world, but he only realized that when his daughter was born.
The guilty conscience he feels towards his daughter is “simply unbearable” at the moment, says the user of the site. Above all, the thought that his child will have a “difficult life” hits him hard.
In the comments, he gets a lot of support from other parents who understand his way of thinking. At the same time, readers advise him not to consume so much news because the world is not as negative as he portrays it.
A while ago, a woman also spoke out about how she regretted becoming a mother. She couldn’t cope with the fact that society treated her so differently and sometimes critically. “I feel like I’m just a second-class citizen,” she wrote.
