i did not hear from her again

until she was about a month away from giving birth

a little too late to get in touch with me

i can still offer all the listening space and sounding boards

but i cant help you break windows and crash thru doors

she waited to call me until it wasnt an option to hear herself say what she was saying

by then it was too late

who would do that?

under what circumstance?

you know me

i trust you

you trust me

we have a wonderful basis of understanding from

all the time shared

i 180 degree spin on something

tell you the desire

stop calling

and only call again after it is too late to do anything about it

i can make it about me

cos no part of this story is

as in: about me never gets airtime on these events

what was it like

to hear a friend begging for an abortion knocked up by an unsafe dude?

pretty bad

out of five stars i would give it 1 1/2

joe's mother asked

it is that known

asked the other grandmother

if it was Reproductive coercion

could you imagine

having to ask that question because of your own son

i cant

i cant begin to fathom to imagine

having to ask

because i needed to verify that my child could do this to someone else's child

that grandma is stronger than me

to ask that question aloud to the other grandma

to put that on record

a minor gesture of immense solidarity for her grandson's mother

"i know what my son did"

can move mountains

huge shout to that grandmother

thank you a million times
