American Woman Celebrates Son She Refused To Abort 20 Years Ago When She Was 16 by BlackViper(op): 7:32pm On Oct 14, 2025
From Shenellica Bettencourt on FB. I hope her story inspires you, it is beautiful ❤️

20 years ago, my mother tried to force me into getting an abortion at 6 months pregnant.

She didn’t stop there, she nagged me until my son was 6 years old to give him up for adoption.
Told me over and over again how I ruined my life.

I was a senior in high school.
His father was incarcerated most of his life.
I had no real support system.
And instead of being lifted up, people like my own mother made the struggle even heavier.

But let me tell you something…
I THANK GOD I didn’t give in. 🙌🏽

Every tear, every sleepless night, every lonely moment, it all molded us.
It built us.

Against all odds… I raised a U.S. Marine. 🇺🇸

We don’t do weak. 💯💪🏽

It’s always the attractive akatas you see making rounds on social media. In real life, the majority are short, ugly and fat.

Great Awesome Decision from you my Sister.
Heaven celebrates your stand to go against your mum.

Now you Reap the Joy of that Great Stand..
I Celebrate you.


Abortion is Murder.
Abortion is Wickedness
Those who engage in such evil are Killers, Murderers and their Hands are soaked in Blood.


If you are Guilty of such Wickedness, CRY out to GOD for Mercy now that you Have the Opportunity.

If you are about to Engage in Such Evil, Desist and Disengage from such plans immediately before the Wrath Of GOD lands on your life.

Oh Boy! I hope this is not a case of a boy-mother who raised her son as if her husband. Let's hope she also achieved something in her own life during those 20 years. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

According to her "His father was incarcerated most of his life".

Why is it that most black American men are so useless and so irresponsible?

They make up less than 30% of the country's population but are over 50% of the prison population!

Most? Over exaggeration, not even close to most.

Some but not most.

itZ good. She also revealed her promiscuous nature as a teenager. Not the exact role model for a grandma.

Stop this your hypocrisy
The world is no living backward.

Change your ways, don't be like an APC politician speaking from both sides of your mouth.

Bearing a child out of wedlock according to una born again hypocrisy believe to be a sin

Now you won't talk about the bold rather you are celebrating her cos she has made it.

Though I am not condemning her. But I want you to be straightforward

It’s okay for you people to get pregnant at sixteen, but criticize Islam for providing the option to marry early if you can’t hold yourself

https://x.com/MichelleMaxwell/status/1977760720767856842?t=bC8iKZB9YiHefKcj6hgH0Q&s=19[/quote]I admire her determination and persistence. But notice how she is hell bent on painting her mother evil without giving the whole backend of the story like:
did she finally raise him alone or with grandma still,
where did they live with him growing up (with grandma?).
Did she have to work and pay all her bills and his or grandma helped.
She never mentioned grandma threw her out.

As much as this story is inspirational the biggest mistake we make in life is photocopying our individual experience and pasting it on another generation of ours.

A woman is sensitive to her child or children (you) as much as you are to your own. Yours with her has passed move on and don't catapult it into your son's life to begin or continue generational hatred.

Whatever experience I had or have with my parents will will never resurface or get transmitted to my kids it's my experience with my parents and it's mine. I can only use the lessons to better experience my own kids will have with me and creat happier memories for them.

Na only am know who e won impress but the effect is that now their will be lil slippery drop of bad blood all over the family..the boy might carry it to his own family too..bad memories everywhere
