I am 21 years old and in the military about a year and a half I got an abortion. My b/f wanted to keep it and so did I. At the time I thought maybe it just wasnt time and I was getting ready to go to Iraq the next month. Afterwards I started to regret it. I pushed it to the back of my head, acouple of months later i found myself having dreams about being pregnant or just about me having a baby. I found myself thinking about it constantly and crying not remembering why i really did it and if i should have. Some one told me i need to find it within me to forgive myself and ask or forgiveness. I dont think i can. When we got back from the deployment i noticed i didnt feel comfortable around little children or babies. I cry at night sometimes when my b/f is not around and ever since i just feel as if something is missing. I feel empty inside. I dont know what to do, I feel as if I will never be able to but it behind me and just say its to late although i know it is.
You do need to forgive yourself, but I know it will take time.
YOU DID NOTHING WRONG, you made a mistake, that does not make you a horrible person, or someone that should never have children.
You are no less deserving of a baby or a happy family than anyone else, you do deserve happiness.
I understand that abortion was wrong for you, but you are not a bad person.
A big first step will be forgiving yourself, and knowing that you are a good person.
