The woman finally knows for sure: she's pregnant, she's surprised, but she's excited. She tells her boyfriend. Bombshell: He dislikes children & has other's he has abandoned, 3 others. a girl, Joy; & twin boys, Michael & Matthew. All 3 he does not consider as his own. When introducing himself, he says he has no children. What made this woman think it would be different with her? He gave her money & ordered her to get an abortion. What did she do? She took the money & got baby stuff.
After some time, on August 12, 1985, I, Nichole Lynn Smith was born, at 2:03 AM. I almost died, I had a heart problem, I was only 5 pounds (considered small & premature then) & I wasn't breathing. My mother tried to get my father to come & see me, but he refused, again saying he didn't want me.
I've met him, but once in the 25 years I've been alive. It took 25 years for him to come to me, then when he found out I liked girls, he told me I should die. Growing up, I often asked myself what was wrong with me? Did he hate me because I wasn't born perfect? Did he dislike me because I wasn't as smart as he wanted me to be? (I was advanced in reading, english, & language arts, but average or below average in others. Way below average in math.) Did he hate me because I didn't act perfect? When I was a teenager, my questions turned to Does he hate me because I don't look perfect? Does he hate me because I'm fat? Does he hate me because I'm in Special Education? My questions were endless. My depression surrounding the fact that I didn't have a father was endless.
Please, never take for granted that you have your parent's. You're lucky. Many children, many people in this world cry every day because a parent literally does not love them. Your parent's may seem strict at times, they may seem unreasonable, & hard on you. But at the end of the day, it's because they love you. Maybe you can't explain why they do something, but they do have a reason. Don't take them for granted.
