My Escape

by M.W.

March 13, 2020

When my now ex-husband and I got pregnant with our much wanted second child, I suffered from hyperemesis (severe, constant nausea). I became unable to perform my “wifely duties” such as making his lunches and morning coffee, cooking, laundry and housecleaning. He became so emotionally and verbally abusive that I decided if I was ever going to escape that abusive marriage, there was no way I could do it as a mother of 2. I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life and aborted the sweet life growing inside me. I had the procedure done alone and silently sobbed the entire time. I am now out of that marriage and focusing on healing the wounds he left, and things are getting better as time passes.
