Nineteen year olds, whether "in love" or in love or just in lust, have sex.

Isn't that a bit....strong?

that you remove it.

Full of love for all of us to appreciate and treasure.

the OP posted that her daughter was irresponsible and was going to have an abortion.

the person you responded to criticized what the OP posted.

the OP posted about her daughter who didn't ask to be a part of this or the public's conversation.

sounds like you are confused.

in a hard time?

Hoping that when you need sympathy, support, and a kind word, that you get the support you ask for, and not mean snide retorts.

I turn to you oh LeftyMom! For you show to us all the way a democrat expresses care, concern, solidarity and kindness at times of critical need. Showing us that a liberal chat board is chock full of caring supportive friends.

Please delete your post.

I really don't have patience for people who slut shame their own daughters, and I can't imagine why any decent person would.

edit: And this is the Pro-Choice group. Not the soft-pedaled anti-abortion sentiment group.

Who can read between an anxious mothers lines and determine that the mom is slut shaming her daughter!!!!!! Oh my oh no how could she for shame!!!!!!

Oh brilliant psychic LeftyMom we depend upon you to tell us these things that we would never know without your perceptive gaze.

Best wishes to you and your daughter.

And a libertarian position now that I think of it

My heart breaks for you and your daughter, this is a difficult time you both are going through.

Pro-choice does not mean this is an easy decision or the only option ever considered.

Pro-choice, however, does means that neither I nor anyone else has the right to stick my nose into you or your daughter's business and make this decision for her based on prejudice, beliefs, or assumptions that are not part of her world or life. Pro-choice means your daughter makes the best decision for herself and she is very lucky to have a supportive mother, who may or may not agree with the decision but is still able to love and respect that decision.

When I made that decision 15 years ago, I didn't tell anyone because I knew there would not be any support from anyone in my life. It didn't change my mind - it was the right decision then and I will always look back without regret, but some support would have been helpful.

She's very lucky to have you in her life.

When my son turned 18, I told him every decision would be his alone, and that I would always be behind him 100%.
17 years later, it has made all the difference.
It's her life. Just be there.

of you during this emotionally difficult time.

and that your daughter recovers from this quickly, considering that it's hurting you both right now. It's never easy.

That said, I would have been horrified if I found out my mother shared something so personal about me on a website and called me irresponsible in my difficult time. Perhaps, in the future, her sex life won't be discussed here without her being the one instigating it.

I would be horrified if my mom posted something like this. I bet if you were more supportive, her decision would not be "weighing" so "heavily on her shoulders."
