Getting this out of her mouth was not an easy pill neither as it an humble bite. But a professional will always be a professional.
During psychotherapy, one of the predisposing factor was said and after several prompts, the words were spilled.
'I never wanted this life, I've always imagined and desired a better life for myself but what my step father said to me on the 19th of April which happens to be my birthday still rings in my ear.'
'My mum was yet to return from work, I never wanted to remain in that house again but I wanted to see my mum for the last time before I leave to a place where I will be accepted.'
'I won't blame my mother, I would rather blame myself to have been borne and I still wonder why those abortion pills didn't kill me. I still wonder why it was me that was the product of that unfortunate fertilization. Besides, it would have been someone else, but it is obvious God wants to punish me for the sins of my mother.'
I left the house and cut off tides with my mum. Besides, I knew my step father was happy but just as usual he will keep playing 'a concerned man' to her. If only she can see beneath her sleeves, she would have known that her life is also not safe in that house.
I outrightly rejected the help from one of my s*x partners.
Oh yes!!
I know you will say I'm wicked and want to put a child through what I went through, but I am at least wiser than my mum. I know there is something called protection and pills and I'm using them religiously. I remember the two times I was pregnant, I didn't hesitate to flush them out.
So..bss.
He told me I needed help,
I guess he was more than being nice to me. I guess he was beginning to fall in love with me.
He took me to seek the service of a mental health therapist and here I'm having this conversation with you.
I appreciate you for one thing and it is you first got my consent before the therapy began. And you are not just my mental health therapist but also my friend and the mother I have always desired.
I don't know if I can still forgive my step dad and mum, but it is sad because you said that is the first step of my healing therapy.
Now, does it mean I will have to reconnect tides with my mum and step dad?

Words are powerful. Never speak when you're angry and if you must do, always ensure you think the words twice and ask yourself how would you feel if these words were said to you?
You know why?
Though you may apologize for the words
Though you may have even forgotten you ever said those words
Butโฆ

The one you spoke those words to might never recover from the wound you've inflicted on him or her.
I know there is forgiveness, but you can't tell him or her on how complete you should be forgiven. It is in the individuals court to forgive and that sometimes happens if you've worked and walked your way with sweat into earning the trust again.
ยฎI got the permission to share this story from my client.
Always watch and weigh your words for words spoken is like an egg that can't be packed and remoulded again.
