I'm glad you're okay. Not much energy? Feeling sick? Could be morning sickness.
I hope you read my earlier post. I don't want to tell you what to do, but please, you need to take care of yourself.
I was raped as a teenager. I was lucky; I didn't get pregant. I haven't talked about it in years. I'm telling you because I know how awful it is, and I hope it will help.
About 2 years later, when I was 18, I *was* pregnant. I was in college, my former boyfriend was hundreds of miles away and out of my life, I had no money, and my only support was from my friends. It was *terrifying*. No one should go through that, but it happens, probably more than anyone knows.
I couldn't deal with the prospect of having a baby or even carrying it to term. Even now I think it would have been disastrous.
Whoops! My daughter is coming home. Gotta go, don't want her to see this.
