My parents would have killed me for what I've done. But still, my parents forgave me, and gave me another chance. They sent me back to school again, and I finished my studies. I got my degree.
After my graduation, I had difficulty on finding a job; I had a great problem paying my bills until I found a job. I was so happy and very relieved that my life would be easier, now, because I will have a job to support my daughter and to pay my bills. At that time, all I am thinking is how I will be comfortable with my life. Until I discovered that I was pregnant, again, with my second child.
Of course the first thing that came into my mind was abortion because having a baby at that time was a hindrance to having a job, and so I did it.
I was 7 weeks pregnant. I took 21 Cytotec [tablets] and some medicines that would kill the baby.
At first, I felt that I did the right thing, but as time goes on, I feel very guilty for what I've done and I'm still suffering from that guilt.
