Last April I left an abusive relationship, I met a man and he treated me so well, I let my judgement slip, and slept with him without protection. 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. He told me he'd support me in whatever decision I made. Well the "support" didn't last long, and quit honestly I was 19 and not ready for a child. So I made the choice to have an abortion I was already working two jobs to make ends meet. ( I was a full time college student) the man that got me pregnant told me he would pay for half of the abortion. Well, he stopped answering my texts and calls, eventually I sent him a text saying that if he didn't help me then I would have his child and force him to pay child support. Of course he didn't like that, and answered my text right away with some bullshit answer. I eventually got his part of the money and drove 8- hours to get the abortion ( I had just finished moving cities) I was only 8 weeks pregnant, and decided to take the pill rather than having a surgical abortion. I told none of my family, and came back to my new home and closed that chapter of my life. I felt bad about myself, and was ultimately ashamed. I thought that i would never be loved again. 2 weeks later I met my now husband, and I told him about the abortion shortly after meeting, I was so afraid he wouldn't like me after, I decided to tell him right away because I didn't want to become attached, for him to decide he wanted nothing to do with me because I've had an abortion. He told me he admired my strength to go through something like that alone. I still struggled with it, and he showed me that I made the right choice for my situation, and that I was still lovable. We ended up getting married, and then on what would have been my due date, we found out I was pregnant. Seeing that positive pregnancy test again, was a completely different experience. We were filled with excitement, and I took comfort in knowing i wouldn't be in this alone, like last time. Life is crazy ladies, but I can confidently say I do not regret my choice to abort. I hope my story can give insight, or help one of y'all.
