Mary, your message brought me tears of joy!
You are absolutely right. We are NOT in control of our own lives, no matter how much we want to be. This is a challenge to be mastered, and there will be others in your life.
I think having to think about The Decision robs women of their joy, and that's wrong.
We're not here to change your political views. That's up to you. We're here to reach out to you in your time of need.
You have realized that you are connected to your baby, and that will never change, even if you were to have an abortion. This is a relationship which we will probably never fully understand, but it's a relationship that is deeper and more profound than any other a woman can experience, including with her significant other. I'm not saying that you won't struggle with feelings and contradictions. You probably will. But at this point, I just want to say, congratulations, mom! :) And you are so right about the self-doubt. Congratulations on conquering that one, too. It doesn't mean you won't ever experience it again, but you will grow immensely from conquering it this time around. And you won't have all the emotional baggage that would just get in the way of your own self-respect.
We will be here for you any time, whether you have questions, or need to vent, or whatever you need to do. I look forward to your reports.
Hugs,
Pat
