The Devil in the Nursery: My Brother's XYY Secret
Language: en
When my mom was pregnant with my little brother, a prenatal checkup revealed he had XYY syndrome. Everyone begged her to terminate the pregnancy. My mom cried and flat-out refused. I asked her what "XYY" meant. She said to me, "It means your brother is going to be the manliest of men. He's going to protect his big sister." I half-understood it. Until he was seven years old, and he took a brick and smashed it into my mom's head over and over again. Then, I finally understood what kind of "man" he was.
