Catherine, who lives in the UK, became pregnant after being raped by a man she had considered her friend. She explains here why she decided to give birth to the child - and why the hardest thing for her is looking into her son's eyes.
I was a single parent with two children. I knew him. We had been friends for about two years, we met through a mutual friend and just had a friendship - a normal friendship, nothing more than that.
I'd been quite open with him that I wasn't looking for a relationship of any sort - I wanted to be on my own - and that I was happy to have a friendship.
I was around at his house. It was almost like a switch flipped. I felt him get too close to me in a way that I just really wasn't comfortable with and I moved away and I went to push him back and it was very quick and very forceful.
It was totally overpowering and I just froze. I didn't really fight any more, it was like a freeze as opposed to trying to fight him.
He didn't say anything, he literally, got up and went out - and actually went out of his house and went out in the car. He didn't talk to me at all. Read more...
