A friend once told me approvingly that someone she knew had talked his schizophrenic adult son into having a vasectomy. Though I read “talked into” as “coerced,” I didn’t say anything.  
Oh my god, I thought instead, maybe I shouldn’t be a mother. I’d had a break with reality after stopping my antipsychotic 10 years before, frustrated with weight gain. I had returned to taking medication and my mental health had stabilized long before this
