I am about 13 weeks pregnant and have decided to have an abortion. It has been a hard choice to come to this but after leaving an increasingly violent marriage and moving in with family it is NOT time for me to add another member to my household. I have mixed feelings about all this though. But I have made appointment and feel that this is the best decision for me at the moment. I am 26 and am already a single mom. My soon to be ex has 2 children already. I am wondering how everyone else coped with the stress before and immediately after the procedure itself...
Honey! 1st of all BIG HUGS! 2nd I REALLY want you to think about this! I am TOTALLY Pro Choice - so I'm not giving you a sermon! BUT I have counselled MANY women on here that have had abortions and have been devestated about it! Was your partner violent before you got pregnant or since? IF he was violent - or showing that side - before you were pregnant! You should NOT be with him at ALL! As this increases! What do your family members think about your pregnancy? IF you have been able to hid it, then you need to see if they are going to be there for you IF you keep this baby! Find out ALL the "ifs" before you do anything OK? Because say you haven't told them and then after the procedure you find out they would have helped you - you WILL feel bad!" There is always going to be sadness, BUT you have to go through each situation and see if it CAN be done or NOT! OK?
Violent partners, don't all of a sudden get better! Violence increases and becomes worse and worse! There are MILLIONS of women throughout the ages who wished they had left at the beginning! You said it yourself it is "increasingly violent" STOP this before it is DEADLY violence used OK? This is for yours and your child(rens) sake!
Be as settled with the decision as you can be OK? IF there is no other choice and you are worried about EVERYONES safety, then there IS your answer, if there is help - without him - then there is another answer! BIG hugs! And please let me know how you make out OK? God Bless!
