The Witness
“Their infrequent conversations were polite but distant. From birth, he had been treated as an intrusion into their busy lives. That self-perception hadn't changed in forty-three years. Consequently, he had developed a jaundiced regard for hearth and home. His dysfunctional family hadn't prepared him for long-term relationships, nor had it instilled in him a desire to be a father. Quite the contrary. He had nothing against children. In fact, he felt compassion for them. More often than not, de...fenseless kids were stuck with rotten parents. So, if you knew from the start that you were likely to be a lousy parent, why have a baby? Through his studies in psychology, he had learned what a handicap parents could be to a child's emotional development. They could turn a perfectly good baby into a maladjusted adult at best, or into a serial killer at worst. To err this grossly, parents didn't necessarily have to be abusive or malicious, just selfish. That's why he had refused to have a baby with Lisa he wasn't that selfish.MoreLess
