Some back story for you: My sister has three kids, a boy (he's 9 now) girl (she's 5) and another boy, he passed away 3 years ago. Following my youngest nephews death, there was a huge custody battle over where the surviving two children should go, and after a year and half of court meetings they finally went back to my sister. Right after my sister was given custody of her kids, and after her 6 month CPS probation was over with, she moved 5 hours away from where she used to live.
Present day: Because of my sister living so far away from us, we rarely see her or her kids. There is a lot of tension still between her and the rest of our family and she chooses to seclude herself away from everyone. About a month ago she came over and we had a "family meeting" she admitted that she moved purposely because of our family and how she felt like the "black sheep". She went on about her feelings and admitted that she had an abortion not too long ago. We were, and still are, very upset, not because she had the abortion, but because she didn't look at her options. My parents always reminded us that they would be more than willing to help if we accidentally got pregnant, and they would be more than willing to adopt the baby. I admit wee were upset because of the abortion, but only because we had already lost a child, and miss him deeply.
We just went on a trip with her to her family ranch. While we were there we started talking and my sister explained her aborted fetus as her 'dead daughter'. I was shocked and asked her what made her think she was having a girl, her response was "I never got morning sickness with my boys, only my daughters". She even gave her fetus a name, it was the name she picked out if she had a second daughter.
I feel sick to my stomach because of this, I just had to get it out.
Note: Please do NOT post any hateful comments on here about abortion, I cannot imagine how it must feel to have one done, but I would never condemn someone for making this decision. I only wrote this to get my feelings out.
