Keeping things hidden

I think the most difficult decision I had to make in all of this was hiding it from my mother. She doesn’t believe in abortions. My family has already been through a lot because of me, and I couldn’t disappoint them any more than I already had. I figured that this would be it. This was the last straw before they decided I wasn’t who they raised. It was hard, trying to figure out a way out of quarantine without my mom finding out I was getting an abortion. I had to lie and tell her I was at my boyfriend’s house or that I went to go buy groceries to drop off at my friend’s house. There were so many lies that I couldn’t figure out where the truth began.
