I only felt relief.

I stupidly got married & had a baby at 18. I was not prepared.

If I have any regrets, it’s that I didn’t know what I was doing at that age.

In the 10 years between my first born and my youngest, I ended two pregnancies.

I’ve never once regretted those decisions.

Had I not, I wouldn’t have carried the one I chose to keep, and she wouldn’t be here.

People tell other people they should feel guilty. I only felt relief.
