Subject: I don't know how to cope anymore Author: Veronica [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:41:04 03/27/06 Mon I had an abortion almost two months ago. When I told the guy, which was my boyfriend at the time, that I was pregnant he decided to tell me that he didn't love me, didn't want to have anything to do with me, nor with the baby. My first instinct was that I was going to keep it, and that somehow I would work things out with him or without him. More thought was put into it, and the more I spoke with people the more everyone told me that it was a mistake to keep it. Boy were they wrong! It was a mistake to not keep it. Truth be told, I took the easy (or what I thought would be) way out. Simply because I did not want ot be judged by other people, I did not want to dissapoint my parents or siblings. But I dissapointed myself. I don't know how to deal or cope with my decision anymore. I cry myself to sleep, everytime I see a pregnant woman or baby I start to cry. I've reached the point that I think that if I get pregnant again it'll be better, but I know that is not the case. I'll just be placing myself in the same predicament. I just feel so inhumane in killing my baby. I'm not religious, so I don't turn to that to cope. I just don't know how to "move on" with my life.I almost don't want to, I wnat to go back to being pregnant. Whoever said life would be easy huh?

The truth is that the only way you are going to find true healing is when you first make peace with God and turn to Him. I just know that to be the only real "cure" in life. Because - you are right! - Life is NOT easy and we all need God to get us through the rough times. I hope you will seek some post abortion counseling. You are also right in that getting pregnant again is not going to "fix" your emotions. I urge you to visit: www.safehavenministries.com Or just google "post abortion" and surf a while. I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs, Kris
