June's Story*

About a weak ago there was talk about my 15 yr daughter being pregnant, she even looked pregnant. we asked she said no we asked her boyfriend he said no, inside i was scared hopeing she wasn't but also being a little excited of the thought that she was,so we didn't press her we waited for her to tell us well today i found two bottle's of pills inher room a antibiodict and a pain med for uterine pain, i thought to my self why would she need something for uterine pain i never took her to a doctor then it hit me she had an abortion, my heart died at that moment i was late for work and never got the chance to ask her about these pills but i knew, i felt a part of me died i called her from work she admitted it i asked her why? did she do this why didn't she tell me she said she didn't want me to be ashamed of her she and her boyfriend wanted the baby or babies (twins) she was told but was afraid that we would be disapointed, she cried so hard after i told her i knew i was just waiting for her to tell me i wanted her to keep it now i feel like i'm the worst parent in the world cause she felt she couldnt tell me i am very angry that a clinic can do this without parent consent or counseling they should have seen she really wanted her babies, but was told she was too small to have a babie it could kill her i'm so upset i'll never recover from this i hope my daughter will.
