IF you found out you were conceived through an act of violence?

Depends on the outcome. Lets say I was born to a mother who was a rape victim and despite the fact her life was completely changed she was strong enough to raise me and provide for me. I'd be proud to be her daughter.
If I was given up for adoption I'd understand that the mother couldn't raise a constant reminder of pain.

I'd feel sad for my mother, for having borne her pain for so long.
Then I'd tell her how much I love her, and make sure she was all right with the world before she passed, because I'd not want her to leave this world without knowing that much, and that in spite of the violence, I turned out all right.
Something like that, anyway. Forgive the mother: she might not have had any choice, but at least she can know that there is some measure of love and solace in the world, as well as whatever awaits her, if at all, in the next.
In all things, forgiveness is the key: forgiveness of the victim, of the assailant if you wish - but most of all, forgiveness of yourself.

you'd have a lifetime of problem if u let it get to u. Imagine thinking everyday the only reason i'm here is because my mum got overpowered and i'm an offshoot of a complete asshole. You might even think that because ur here the act of violence was acceptable. Your mother'd have to look at u and be reminded of the attack and part of her may even hate u.

I think I might feel a little more pressure to make something of my life; almost like that's something I had to make up for. And I'm not really sure why I'd feel like that.

Deep dude. I don't think I could ever imagine that. I guess if I would have had a good home I would be thankful for that much at least.

i would feel sorry for my parents, especially for my mom if she was raped but the up side would be that i was the result of it (a beautiful child). when you think about it, there's really nothing you could do even if you felt hurt and wanted to do something about it.

The main point is that you are here and it is not your fault.
