Well, I became a statistic, one of those women for whom birth control fails. I was scared and I told him, he stayed with me and I cried, not wanting this. He felt guilty, I felt guilty, even though we know now it was neither of our faults. My health was not in the best condition and we had to wait until I was almost 4 months to get it done.

And we did. He made the appointment for a Friday morning. We both took off from work, and he drove me. He stayed outside and waited while it happened and I felt no pain. I woke up after the procedure was finished and was made to rest for a while. Then I walked outside through a back door and he was there waiting for me. He was told that I was leaving and was there to carry me to the car and we drove home. I cramped some and did not sleep well. He cooked for me and he took care of me. The situation surrounding the abortion was not optimal and I am sorry that people were so mean to me afterwards. I am also sorry that people cannot understand that this is not an easy choce but at time it is the best one. Shortly after that my boyfriend and I moved in together and this situation brought us closer than we had ever been. This was almost 2 years ago, if I would have had the child I never would have had the chance to finish college or to get as wonderful a job as I have now. I thank the fact that abortion is legal 100 times a day when I see my accomplishments. Thanks you for this site also, when I had my abortion I looked for support and found nothing but horrible stories and pictures that scared me and made me feel horrible. I never told my parents and only a few friends of mind know the situation, most have been supportive. But sites like these help me and others find other people like us that are glad that we had an abortion. Thanks again.
