One of the hardest things I ever had to go through was an abortion... alone.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I didn’t have much of a decision, I just knew I had to do it otherwise I’d have no support from my family. It was one of the hardest decisions ever. Give this baby a life or get rid of it? I always wanted a baby, but at 20? Was that the right time? No, it couldn’t be... I’d bring shame and anger to my family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Was it the right choice? I still struggle with that. It took me 5 years to stop thinking about it, to stop watching my niece grow up, celebrate birthdays and thinking about my son celebrating next to her. And one of the worst things was having not having anyone in my corner to emotionally support me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My newest video is up now and after 13 years I didn’t think I was still emotional about it, but wow. Definitely opened up wounds I thought I closed up. I don’t want my daughter to ever have to go through this at a young age, but one thing I do know is that she’d never have to go through it alone— whatever she decides. [LINK IN BIO]
