My life became changed

2014 Australia

I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren.im46 yrs old and having another child didnt sit well with me.my partner got quite excited about the idea but i felt a baby would not define us as a couple it would devide us with our ages and lifestyle

I was 23 weeks and 5 days gestation when i had the abortion and had no idea i was pregnant i had missed the cut off in new zealand and had a week to find other alternatives in australia 1 was 22.5 when i found out i was pregnant
