if you don't mind me asking, how were you forced into an abortion? and what makes the situation different now so that you are able to have a baby?

My mother has hardly been in my life since i was in foster care. When I turned 16, I ran away from that hell. My father was physically and verbally abusive, my mother just stood by and let him treat me like that. She was hardly in my life since i left over 2 years ago now. Both of my parents are very controlling and they were very upset when I left, But I am a million times happier with my love who has been supportive and loving since we met. We were together for 2 years before, we ran away togther. When i became pregnant, my mother became very involved in my life. It went from us never seeing each other to her calling me all the time and visiting weekly. my bf has a wonderful supportive mother, she's great. I felt I was lacking a mother, i hadn't had one since I was so young. So when she started coming around and manipulating me, It wasn't too hard for her to get her hooks in. I can't believe that I let her do it, since I am so stong willed and determined. When I was 16 I had the guts to just leave. I have never let anyone decide my life since I left, since I was so miserable for so long, due to everything in my life being in the hands of everyone but me. I can't believe that when it mattered so much that I didn't stand up for me and my baby. I am so angry, As well as depressed, I wanted to try again and my bf agreed. Trying again has filled me with so much hope. I don't plan on letting her into my life again until I am ready to forgive her and I know that I can trust her again, If that ever happens.
