I'm a new father and I'm now very afraid of myself.
You're not thinking about hurting your child, right?
I don't see why I would harm a child.
Becoming a father for the first time is a life changing experience. Feeling scared in some fashion is not uncommon.
I'm going to keep my child away from me and treat it as an outcast for a few years. That way I can stop myself from doing anything to harm it.
You need to be an active part of your child's life for them to grow up happy and healthy.
