i wasn\u2019t raped or physically abused. i was 17 and dumb and still very much a child myself.
\nmy parents weren\u2019t around much and i wanted so badly to feel loved by a guy. i thought you achieved this love through sex. clearly i had a lot of self-esteem 世界杯赛程2022赛程表中国
. when my period was late i knew something was wrong. i went into a deep state of denial and my boyfriend at the time…we\u2019ll call him alex\u2026 backed up that denial. i didn\u2019t know who to turn to or where to go. this is what hurts the most: i waited much longer than i should\u2019ve to seek help. finally i confirmed the pregnancy and underwent an abortion with my loving parents by my side. alex was very jealous, obsessive, immature, and came from a broken and dysfunctional home. i knew i did not love him and i did not want to have a child with him or continue the relationship. looking back it was a very unhealthy teen relationship. he didn\u2019t ask to go with me to the clinic. i didn\u2019t really want him to though.<\/p>\n
the doctors were nothing but nice and supportive. i didn\u2019t feel like an awful person when i was around them. but people in my small high school started to talk. alex broke up with me via text when i came home from the clinic that sad day. it hurt but it was for the best.<\/p>\n
i have no regrets. zero. the whole situation still hurts sometimes. i have vivid memories and then certain things are very blurry. when the controversial topic of abortion comes up i feel very uncomfortable. i wish i would\u2019ve waited until i was more mature to have sex. i am thankful i had the right to do what i wanted with my body. i hope to have children with my current partner in a few years and i will do everything i can to teach my daughters and\/or sons to practice safe sex when they are truly mature and ready.<\/p>\n
these days everything is going great. i am in a mature and healthy relationship with a man that i am deeply in love with. we\u2019ve talked a lot about marriage and children and are both so excited for that chapter of our lives. i have a career that i enjoy and am so hopeful for the future. life is good again.<\/p>\n
if my story can help at least one woman feel they are not alone then it was definitely worth sharing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
