when i was in my early 20s my marriage ended and i lived with my two young kids and several roommates. one male roommate took an interest in me, and took advantage of me when we were having a few drinks one night. i thought he was going to be my boyfriend after that. a few weeks later when i told him i was pregnant he moved away without telling anyone where he was going.

before i knew it i was living in a car, with two kids under the age of 5 and out of work. i didn’t want to think about being pregnant, i wanted to die.

if i hadn’t had an abortion i couldn’t have taken care of the kids i already had. i wish that i never went through that hard time, but i don’t regret ending the unwanted pregnancy.
