My abortion is the kind people love to judge the most. I wasn’t underage, I wasn’t assaulted, and there was no medical emergency. I got pregnant because I knowingly had unprotected sex, no accident, no rare failure, just my own choices.
By their standards, it was “irresponsible.” I knew abortion was an option, and I took it. Not because I couldn’t survive it or raise a child, I simply didn’t want one. I wanted sex without becoming a parent, and I chose not to carry the pregnancy.
There’s no redemption arc here. I don’t regret it. Nothing terrible happened to me afterward, no punishment, no downfall. My life is still good. And that reality alone challenges everything people like to assume about women who make this choice.
I adopted a teen from a local shelter this Christmas. I shared this with my MIL & coincidentally, all of his sizes matched her late son before he passed. One of his few basic requests was a Marks gift card, Mark was her son’s name. I never met Mark, but hope this is a sign ❤️
Everytime I hear about how things are going at my old job it gets more and more concerning. Multiple people fired/suspended for setting perfectly reasonable boundaries for their safety, getting verbal abuse from higher ups on the regular, no efforts to hire anyone new
Mind u, this organization used to be a safe supportive DV shelter but based on how things are being run I can 100% confirm it’s not even a safe place to work there
In the past 7ish months I have:
-lost my last and closest living grandparent
-mom relapses
-my employer of over 5 years ghosts me (still avoiding my labour case worker)
-dad has heart attack
-partners gma has stroke & cannot live alone anymore
-mom tries to kill herself
My fav local advertisement is the one just before you cross to Cape Breton that’s like “forgot soap?? U better TURN AROUND and get some!!” & suggests the closest store to purchase soap in the area is 360km away in Brackley, PEI
The amount of HORROR stories I’ve heard from people who have gone to “therapists” that just bought a degree from yorkville is deplorable. How in the fuck is that place an accredited institution still
