My parents once told me that they deeply had considered to abort me for several reasons.
Firstly, I was unexpected. My mum was a bit old for pregnancy so it could be dangerous for her. Secondly, they already had had a miscarriage before having me, and they felt kinda guilty about it. Thirdly, doctors told them that I might be deformed because of medicine my mum took. And everyone told them that they had to abort me.
But they didn’t. They additionally said that they had never regretted for having me and they were lucky to have me. And also, I’ve always felt they truly love and support me, I haven’t had any problem with my parents in my entire life. I guess that’s why I was alright when I heard the story. Rather, I thought I could understand my parents as human being more.
I talked about it with my friend and she told me she’d feel resentful if her parents had wanted to abort her. But I don’t feel angry, shocked or betrayed at my parents. Is it weird?
