text: Christianity is not the only way.  To think so is arrogant beyond mere words to describe.  But to address your question regarding the circumstances of your birth, there are many spiritual paths that have a far better grasp of this issue.  Buddhism being one of many.\n\nMight I suggest that you take a look elsewhere?  You might be startled and amazed by the answers and guidance you can receive from other spiritual paths that understand the fundamentals and mechanics of reincarnation.  From that point, you could well handle your personal challenges better and hopefully live a more positive life.  And finally...\n\nWhatever belief system you have that keeps you going under what I can see must be difficult circumstances, Bravo!  Go about your business and life as you see fit and let the fundies stew in their own juices.  It is your life, no matter how it happened, so enjoy it to the best of your ability.
