Labour MP Natalie Fleet, 40, disclosed that she still suffers "weekly nightmares" as a result of the harrowing ordeal but is determined to use her platform to enact change.
She said her family had been struggling when she was growing up and at one stage even found themselves homeless before she gave birth to her daughter.
In an interview with Gloria De Piero on GB News to be broadcast today, Ms Fleet said: "At the time, when I was 15, I felt full of shame and guilt and responsibility.
"And all I was determined to do was make sure that she had a life that was as good as she would have had to any age parent. That was what I was determined to do, I didn't think about me or the impact."
But, with her daughter now 23 and "the absolute love of my life", Ms Fleet said she could look back and think "that wasn't okay".
