You are not alone!!!!!!!!!!

I wished with all my heart that I had some magic words I could say to make all your pain go away but I don't. Otherwise I would be very rich by now. But that's all for the comedy now. I just want you to know that you are not alone in this. There are so many of us who can relate to what has happened to you. Even I. I was 17 at the time and when I found out I was pregnant, I was very scared. My boyfriend wanted me to have an a abortion but I did not want to. At first I did but after a few days the shock wore off and I began to realize just what was happening to me. I decided that I did not want an abortion but when I told my boyfriend, he felt otherwise. He told me that if I did not have the abortion, he would leave me. That no one would want to take care of me and someone else's child. He even threatened to kill himself if I did not go through with it. I beleived him and had it done. After it was over he told me that he would have not left me if I had not gone through with the abortion. I was so hurt. He lied to me and I beleived him. I can't remember if the dr I had was cold to me or not. I don't think he was but seemed to be in a hurry. Well of course he was, he had 20 something other women who were wanting his services. It was very hard for me to get through the pain and devestation I felt. I not only felt betrayed but mislead by the clinic. They never told me of the emotions that might follow after an abortion. I thought something was wrong with me feeling like I did. I wanted my baby back so bad. Boyfriend and I split about 2 years later and I married his best friends brother. We have 3 children who I thank God for. I just wanted to let you know that there are so many of us just like you out there hurting, trying to find peace in our hearts about what we did. We are here for you to help you. If you want to talk, e-mail me. I would be happy to share any information I have on getting your life back together. It's tough but you can do it. I promise and we are here for you.
Take care,
Rebecca
