Thank you. Telling my grandparents was the best thing I've ever done. They're my legal guardians and have almost always been my parent-figures. They're Catholic, but pro-choice (as I found out), and absolutely wonderful people.
As I wrote in my journal that day: ...Telling my grandparents about my abortion was actually probably the best thing I have ever done
( ... )
That really got me too, that her Grandad went with her. How comforting it must be to have a man not just in your life but in your family who you know you can count on.
Actually, I was fortunate in many ways. Both my boyfriends, all my friends, and every family member but my mother was 100% supportive and all offered to go with me.
My grandparents said "That's what family is FOR," and I wish all families were like that about their daughters' and granddaughters' abortions. :(
I wish so, too. I'm a clinic escort, and it does my heart good every time I see truly supportive family coming in with the patients. Makes me sort of wish I had little "gold stars" to give out *grin*.
