I forgot to add, dunno if this makes any difference, but I went through the same thing she did, as far as irresponsibly getting knocked up at 18, but I had an abortion. I'm not ashamed of it or anything, it was the right decision at the time no matter how you look at it, but it does bug me that one of the main reasons I aborted was because both my parents told me that if I ever got myself knocked up, I was on my own, I would get no help or support. They were adamant about it. But she gets whatever she asks for. Her mom even took a 2nd job so she wouldn't have to work.
Is there any way to express to my family how much this hurts me?
