I had an abortion about seven years ago when I was 16. I was in an abusive relationship and I know that if I were to have the baby, it means that I will have to marry my abusive boyfriend. I decided to had an abortion for the sake of my own safety and the baby itself. I know I wouldn't be able to support the baby myself, and I know things are going to be worsens if I had to marry the baby daddy. Now I have a Masters degree, and a well-paying job, because I could focus on myself and fixing my issues. I will always cherish the memory I have during the pregnancy and will always love the baby in secrecy.

I was sad, because I wish this wasn't the circumstance. I always wanted to be a mother, but I had to understand that motherhood wasn't easy. I felt relieved because with the abortion I am able to escape the abusive relationship.
It was painful, like an extremely painful period. Make sure that you have someone with you during the abortion since you lost a lot of blood.
I am depressed and I couldn't even support myself

I only told my ex boyfriend's mother because she understands that her son are acting abusive towards me. She was reluctant and as a devout Christian she was angry at first, however she supported me after she hear me out.
