I'm so glad my mum got an abortion

I was in first grade when she had it, didn't really understand anything when she did, but she was crying. I always assumed that they "killed" my baby sibling. And then I grew up, got educated, became aware and realized that that was one of the best decisions she'd ever made.

She could barely support herself and me at some points in our life, if she'd had another child, idk how we would've managed. The child would've struggled, my mum would've struggled and I would've struggled too. Neither the child nor I would have access to the education and opportunities I have rn, my mum would've had to take loans and work more jobs and life would've been more of a hell than it already is.

Besides, our household isn't one where a child could be raised without giving them any lifelong scars, the child would've undergone the same physical and mental abuse I did . And I'm really glad that didn't end up happening. 🤗
