I recently had an abortion and it has been hell for me.  Since my abortion I have been so guility and pushed everyone in my family away so we are not on speaking terms.  The father of my unborn baby left me after I had the abortion and now will not speak to me.

I'm so lost and even those I try to talk to still don't seemm to understand.

Ia808,

Welcome to Safe Haven. I lot of people don't uderstand the emotional turmoil that affects us after an abortion, we do. You will need to grieve the loss of your child. This type of grief is called disenfranchised grief, a loss that some of society does not see as being a loss. It really helps to know that you are not alone, we are here. If you haven't read about Post Abortion Syndrome, ( located above) please see which ones apply to yourself. It also might help to talk with your local pregnancy crisis center, they do not judge you for your actions. Our Father will forgive you if you ask, the peace will follow. I found a suport group and went to a bible study for abortion, that is when the burden left. Your partner may be feeling relief and guilt. He also may not be able to face the loss. It may take time, if you like attend one of the chats or post and someone will answer. I will be praying for you.

Cyber hug,
Patty
