I’m 23…I had an abortion at 6 weeks along, It was the hardest desicion I have ever made, but I don’t regret it. I wonder what could have been, all the emotions of someone who’s had an abortion, but I know I did the right thing. I refuse to bring a child into this world and throw it into a situation with a peice of s*** father, who is going no where in life and with me as a mother who had no job, no place of my own, and no way of supporting a child on my own. Nor will I have a broken home. I don’t care if its “normal” now, step-parents and weekend visitation, summers at dad’s. That is NOT what is going to be normal for me.
Aside from all of the emotions and baggage of having an abortion, literally….LITERALLY, every single one of my friends are pregnant at this exact moment. Only two of them know about the abortion (both are about 4-6 months along & both pregnancies were planned) friend 1. Has completely backed off from me as a friend, very judgemental and has always been “guit-trippy” in other situations, this one is no different. .her boyfriend judges me, won’t even look in my direction, I feel very uncomfortable in their house & she had the audacity to tell me I needed to explain to her 5 year old why I wasn’t pregnant anymore?? (Needless to say I said hell no)
Friend 2. Is very supportive, even though she doesn’t fully agree with my decision, but I can tell it really bothers her and I do feel bad because of that, But she understands where I’m coming from.
I guess I’m not sure the point to all of this… just needed to get this off my chest.
Since the abortion…I had an i.u.d placed… and have started college. I just hope some day people will understand and I pray that my future mate will not judge me for my past…
