My boyfriend did not want a baby

I was not married, although I was 20 years old, my mother was terribly upset. I wanted to have the baby, my mother was going to force my boyfriend, by threats to provide for me. My boyfriend did not want a baby at that time.

It was a bit scary, not really knowing what was happening. Although everyone at center was considerate of me and my feelings, I was hurt inside that something that I was happy about caused so much pain for other people.

Things worked out for my mom and boyfriend and I, but there was always a shadow that could not clear up between my mom and I.

I got lots of information, I prayed that I would be forgiven for not taking the responsibility of tending to one of God's baby's. I know in my heart that this sin is as far away from me "as east is from west".

After the abortion, I became wiser, stronger and decided that I shouldn't do something I knew was wrong only because someone else didn't want me to or let someone try to control me for whatever reasons.
