Has she brought it up? Yes? Then chat about it. Has she not brought it up? No? Then you are possibly overdramatizing it.
I had an abortion when I was 19 and it was regretful that I was not in control enough of my life to prevent getting pregnant at that time. But I do not regret the decision to have one and never have.
My parents didn't know about it but it was just as if they "forced" me to have it by the way I was raised and their expectations of me. But I'm not foolish enough to place blame for it on anyone else's shoulders. Ultimately, it was my decision. Ultimately, it was HER decision as well.
