My Story:

My mom went through a pretty nasty divorce and finally had started getting her life on track. She had her first boyfriend in this next phase of life, only her second ever, and she found out she was pregnant at the age of 48. She was high risk and had heart disease, and she definitely was not interested in having another baby and starting all over again. She ended up having to come stay with me for a while to be able to get her abortion because of the laws in her state. We got back from the appointment, ate some candy, watched rom coms, and she started sobbing in the middle of one because she was worried she was being investigated by her neighbor.
