Ok, I've had a huge reality check. I recently learned something about a woman who is a Saudi Arabian princess. She was married off under pain of torturing her father to a hateful man, (her cousin) who constantly rapes and beats her. She has been secretly taking birth control pills to avoid pregnancy, and seeking a divorce. Her husband found out about the pills, beat her, raped her, and now she's pregnant. They really won't let her leave now if she has a child.
In comparison, my life is a huge chocolate bar with raspberries and sugar on top. What was I thinking? I have a husband I chose and love, would be thrilled to have his child, and have every freedom a person could possible want. I'm so spoiled I don't even know how good I have it.
