Dear Tracy, that was not a “pro-choice declaration” that was your mom telling you she didn’t want you to have kids. Maybe not “forever” but, in this case, with this post-divorce fling you appeared (to her) to be on.

A question, “divorced at 24” is a big wow-moment for me. And now you’re 42-ish? You’ve been through a lot. And I’m going to go out on a limb her and guess you’ve not had kids, still. Is that your mom’s doing? Or something else?

Fine to #OKBoomer me. I do hope you find what you are looking for in a relationship. And that you tell your mom to shove her advice in a dark and quiet place. “Pro-choice” does not mean telling your children to abort their pregnancies. Especially, those that haven’t happened.
