I've been a single mother of two (no support) since 1997. In 2005, I finally made it to college working full-time days and schooling at night.

I was 23 and in a new relationship with a man that I already thought I would marry, but we had been together only two months when we had a condom failure, and a few weeks later I took a positive pregnancy test. I called my mom right away, sobbing.
I had an abortion when I was 20 years old. I was in my sophomore year of college and my boyfriend had just broken up with me.
I had been married only a few months, but between my precarious mental health due to being a survivor of incest (I thought about suicide almost daily) and my husband's childhood of physical abuse our relationship was intermittently violent.
When I was a junior in high school, my boyfriend, at the time, and I were having protected sex when the condom broke. When he first realized this I hadn't been hit with any emotions yet.
