It's alright, Macallen. I believe you misinterpreted me when I said "afraid to be alone" I have wonderful friends and I have no fear of them leaving. I was just really upset at the time, and didn't want to be left alone at that moment. But the feeling passed quickly and then I kicked it into high gear and learned as much as I could as fast as I could. She knew some of her options, but didn't seem to be pro-active. Mistakes do happen, but only a fool would think one like pregnancy would simply go away
I think my initial reaction was out of disbelief from what I had learned, coupled with anger. This turned into frustration when her outlook on this whole "mistake" was "Sh#t happens". she refused the morning after pill and she was basically waiting out the clock for her period, which I'm happy to say she had the other day.
My father had a seminar on suicide and current theories regarding warning signs and treatment. I asked him to bring home as much literature as he could so that I might learn more. One positive outlook on all of this mess is that I have expanded my knowledge in areas I knew little about before.
