Via date rape. I was getting ready to break up with the guy and we fall asleep at my apartment. I wake up he’s on top of me. I freeze. I can’t move. I got pregnant that day. I was trying at the time to transfer to Madrid University as an exchange student.
I can’t tell my daughter even though I’m sure her dad talks bad about me. If I tell her that would hurt her.
Hmm. that’s a tough one. I don’t know how old your daughter is but maybe wait until she is a grown woman and can handle that kind of information before telling her.
Thanks. I wanted to go to Madrid so bad but I had to drop out of college and get a job to take care of my baby. I don’t even leave my house now so Madrid isn’t in my future. Well actually I kept two jobs when Sparrow was a baby.
I think her life would’ve been better if I’d let her be adopted but that never crossed my mind. And she was stubborn as a mule!!!
I think if I had found out something like that from my mum it would really upset me. My mum has told me about her abuse trauma (not by my dad, by someone else) but I found it hard to hear. The first couple of times she talked about it I dissociated and couldn’t remember the conversation. But now I am able to listen to her properly and I think being able to talk about it has brought us closer together. But even so, I’m glad she waited until I was older. It was hard to hear.
