A good friend of mine has OI. His whole family does to varying degrees. He got clipped (vasectomy) because he couldn't in good conscience pass that on to anyone. His siblings didn't have the same perspective. With predictable results...
An avid athlete, he's got a stack of films three inches high. He's had easily 100 fractures in the past 40 odd years. He's about 5-8, slightly barrel chested, but not noticeably so.
For him it really and truly sucks because he loves sports like wind surfing, skiing, hiking. He loved carpentry but is shut out of it for obvious reasons and so has a desk job where he crawls the walls.
Having known this guy for decades I have a lot of admiration for his decision to forgo his wants or desires for fulfillment at the expense of someone else's health and happiness.
I'll let you read between the lines for my opinion of mini-mom.
"Fuck the hive! I am the only bee that matters." What an asshole.
I lied, sue me.
