I had just the day before had the courage to leave an abusive relationship when I found out he’d left something behind.
The very instant upon finding out I knew what my decision was. There wasn’t a moment’s deliberation. The only upset I felt was that I was in a position where I had to make this choice in the first place. I knew bringing another child into the world was not the right choice, when I already had 2 children to think of. The courage and strength it took to get out of that relationship meant I couldn’t have anything that would tie me to that man.
After the procedure I felt relief. Overwhelming relief. And gratitude for the ease and accessibility of having the procedure available as an option to me.
And I’ve not regretted it for even a moment.
