I meant "only" as in I'm not talking about abortion. It's a different issue with different struggles.
That said, I agree. It is a hard decision, and every situation is different. Regrets are a part of life, everyone wonders how their life would have been different if they'd made a major decision a different way. There's no way around that feeling, whether you give it up OR decide to keep it.
Maybe, if she'd had some backup, maybe if she'd had some help the obstacles wouldnt have seemed so terribly big.....
Right. Except the obstacles WOULD have been as big, they just would not have SEEMED so, and the wrong decision might have been reached because of it. Find me one single mother who says her life is easy and perfect all because of her child support check. The money clouds the decision, but does not ultimately play that much of a role in making the child's life significantly better.
