Teenager uses drugs and alcohol to “numb herself” after abortion

Machelle Montgomery had an abortion at age 15. She writes:

“I dealt with my abortion in very negative ways: more relationships, more drugs and alcohol. I was just trying to numb myself because every time I would allow myself to think about what I did I would become overwhelmed. I struggled with wanting to take my life. Depression set in and my world began to close in on me.”
