There's a fine line between "my parents procreated too young" and "my birth was a mistake"

My parents both got pregnant in their early 20s, when they were both still in college and not financially stable. They acknowledged it was a big mistake to get pregnant at a young age, but they always made clear that it was the *pregnancy* that was a mistake, not us.<br><br>I always felt bad for people whose parents straight-up acknowledged that they were not expecting to have children and that the pregnancy was an accident. Those acknowledgments can be very hurtful.<br><br>Share your thoughts about this, and please be aware of triggers.
