I got an email that started with… ‘I secretly got on birth control… am I wrong?
This email made my eyes water, because I know too many women living this exact life in silence.
“Hey Linda, you can share this publicly if you want because I know I’m not the only woman going through this. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 7 years. We have 4 kids together and live in a small two bedroom apartment. We have been here for some years now and I want better for us.
