The Rumor Mill

Despite pregnancy hormones, I don't get upset easily. I have acquired a tough skin over my 25 years and have learned not to react hastily. I knew that in having this child I would meet opposition. I knew that it was going to be a hard climb for me. I knew, walking into this, that I would be faced with questions and judgements. What I didn't anticipate was the rumor mill and how harshly I would be judged.

I don't care what people think of me, never really have. I can handle what people dish out. Frankly, if you are spreading rumors about me then you are no friend of mine. The people that I love and respect know the whole truth of my situation and that is what is important to me. I don't feel that I have to justify my actions.

However, it does upset me when people have a blatant lack of respect for the people that have been touched and affected by this pregnancy. This was a difficult situation for everyone. Being small minded, dishonest, petty, and rude have no place here. High school anitcs should be left there.

If you must slander me, by all means I won't stop you. But remember it is not just about me anymore. There is a child, families, and our loved ones involved. If you don't have the guts to confront to me in person then maybe you shouldn't be speaking at all. Don't you think that I have enough to deal with besides petty bullshit. Shame on you.
