Stories from Indiana
We both pretended everything was perfectly fine. Then I started feeling very depressed and alone.
I don't regret it, but I regret telling him never to speak about it.
We took a big step and chose our love over our parents' beliefs.
After all, if these brave women could go through this when it was so much harder, what really do I have to worry about in the long run?
Then once that was done they let my mom come in the room which was NOT who I wanted. I wanted my boyfriend to just hold me. \n
