But that was 19 years ago - when I was 18 and childless and responsible for no one but myself. So in that regard, there were no arrangements to be made, no hard emotional struggles (except, I did try to be extra-tough for my distraught parents). I'm wishing you the very best, and I hope that 19 years from now this will be so far in your rearview mirror that you almost forget it happened (that's where I am).

While I am still able to breastfeed, I had to give up my ideal of a drug-free, natural birth with my first baby after it ended in an emergency C-section. I did VBACs in the hospital with the epidural for my subsequent three babies. Homeschooling: I homeschooled my oldest for three years and, while his academic progress was amazing, our mother-son relationship was not. I had to give up homeschooling for the sake of our family, at least for the time being. My kids go to a Christian classical school, not the neighborhood Catholic schools. I had to give up that exclusively Catholic education for the sake of a quality education. (I still teach religion at home with my kids.) <br /><br />Anyway, I used to be that person who saw things as "right". And I dug my heels in and tried to cram those things into my life. I finally had to eat some humble pie and make choices that fit our family, our situations. Choices God wanted me to make. You are a smart and strong woman for recognizing that and following through with it. When I let things go and gave it to God, I was more relaxed and blessed beyond my imagination despite some of the suffering. I think God will bless your decisions. There really is more than one "right" way. You will be in my prayers!
