Small Voice Inside. I am changing. It happened. I don’t want it too. It was a mistake. My heart is racing, I checked the stick. Yes, it is for real. I am with child. I need to dump this problem. I need to let go, of him. He does not want me. He does not want us. (us?) Butterflies, trains, duck tails, and cookies for the holiday. Nonsense, what is this? I can not think clearly… I walk by the window, at the mall. Little toys and things, … I begin to cry. I am going to die. I want to die. I should go now… I delay, I don’t know why… I am stupid. He called me this morning. He does not believe me. He hates me, and never wants to see me again. Today, today I will kill it. Today, today my baby kicked me. Today, I decided He was a dick. Today, I decided to be a mom.

This is not a single argument by a single mom. It is all those that got into trouble, that need to remember the he they are talking about is a bad guy, the other is a small, tiny voice...calling mom....
