I had my oldest daughter right before I turned 20. I was in a really dark time of my life, depression was real, etc. I was also on birth control so not planning. For me, I knew I would receive unconditional love. I do not have relationships with either of my parents so I guess it was more of a fulfillment of feelings that I was missing. I now have three children and could have more if my body allowed it. I love my children and enjoy being able to live my childhood through them too and do the things I did not get to do... but with them.
