Six weeks before my daughter's first birthday, I learned that I was again pregnant.

I have been pregnant a total of eight times. I have three children at home, ages 17, 15 and 6. I am raising them in a loving, supportive and financially stable home. Now.

I am a 37-year-old divorced mother of two young girls. I live in Ireland, where abortion is illegal. Several years ago I got pregnant unexpectedly by an emotionally abusive and manipulative boyfriend.

I had just mustered up the strength to leave a really bad relationship via restraining order and found out I was pregnant. I had been with my ex for six years, but it wasn't until after we got married that he became verbally and physically abusive.

I was a teenager when I met my first boyfriend. He was new in town, and was hoping on a fresh start from moving between family members since a child. I was unaware at the time, but he didn't have any role models nor parents.

Mi historia son realmente dos historias. Y recientemente, una experiencia personal. Tenía 19 años, y solo tres meses de lo que después me daría cuenta era una relación gravemente abusiva, cuando me di cuenta de que estaba embarazada.
