I am a big sister of two siblings (on my dad’s side) -they are half siblings but they have wholly grown on me. I am about 10-14 years older than them. One is 20 and the other is 17. And now I have reached my 30s. So I was an only child for a good amount of time. I never thought I would want to be a sibling.

(Everyone knows that when you are pregnant you are quick to react and are very emotional). I had to put everything …

I was raped when I was 16 and planned on moving past it. It was the first time a man had ever been inside me. However, a month later I saw the positive test.
