I'm sorry you had to die. I didn't mean for you to happen. But your life mattered. Because it taught me so many things. You showed me, definitively, that I want children. I have always been uncertain, not fully sold. I had to love you for myself ( Read more... )

I've heard a lot of women say to me that they felt awful before, during, and after their abortions, but later in life are able to look back and feel certain that it was the right choice. I've heard women say they knew all along that abortion was the right choice, and I've heard others say that they knew all along that it was not the right choice ( Read more... )

Has anyone heard of Post Abortion Stress Disorder? It's basically like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There's debate over whether or not it exists but I can tell you it does. Worse than the trauma is the regret. I did it because everyone I know pressured me into it, and I would give anything to go back and undo it. I'm so angry at them. But ( Read more... )

A couple of years ago I was in a nasty relationship. It all seemed great at first but this guy drank and got high every night. We'd have sex every night, regardless of whether or not I wanted to.

Just out of curiosity, if anyone on here lives in the Dallas, TX area would you be interested in a support group?  I can't find any, and everything I find online is Christian based and I personally am not religious.  I don't know if anyone is from around here, but I wanted to throw that out there, because I know it would really help me.

I have read up on stories of you girls who feel hopeless or sad right now and don't know when it will end. I thought I'd share my own story of my life since my abortion ( Read more... )

Just wanted to introduce myself.  Not really sure what to say.... just hurting a lot right now.  Tired of burying the pain.  It just feels like the only option.  Sometimes, though, I can't do it.  Tonight is one of those nights.  I want to believe it will get easier... but I don't.  It just seems to get worse.

Three years ago this week I did what I see as life changing.

I had an abortion.

The story behind it isn't one I wish to share, it was a bad time in my life, yet this experience has opened my eyes, as well as haunted me.
