I’m so sorry you experienced this. I feel your pain and distress throughout your story.

The core tragedy is our society’s view of sex. The shame that causes young mothers to hide their pregnancy and give up their babies for adoption is a horrid tradition that I hope we can shed someday soon.

And the horrible way we treat others who condemn us simply because our sexual needs are different than theirs. So unnecessary, so painful.

Tragic for all involved. Thank you for sharing your story.
