You are so brave to speak up about how you really feel. Please know you are not alone, and how you feel is totally understandable and you should not have to try and cover that up. Sadly, many women share your pain, but I hope you can take some small comfort from knowing you are not the only one.

I am so sorry that you were placed in such a difficult position. It sounds like you were looking for information and support and someone to talk to, and all you got was pressure to go down a path you didn’t really want.

I don’t blame you for feeling “sick of it”. You have battled along for 5 years, but you’ve made such a great step forward in writing this and sending it in! I hope you can continue to work through all that has happened, and that this will be the beginning of emotional healing for you.
We can’t change the past. But we can, in time and usually with help, come to terms with it, and make a different future for ourselves.

It may help you to read through some of the other stories on this page. It is also important that if you need someone to talk to, that you keep on being brave and reach out for help. The resources section on this page has some good links , or use one of the agencies on the “get Help” page. Or even send another email to this page, and they will put you in touch with someone near you or via a phone help line.

Everyone here who reads your story will be feeling a lot of love and compassion for you. Take heart. xx

I can hear a lot of anger in your story and I don’t blame you! So many people tell us things because they think it’s ‘best’ for us, without asking whether it will be! You have been deceived in so many ways, but you sound strong enough to stand up for your own truth. Good on you!! If you ever get the chance to talk to a post abortion counsellor, that would give you a chance to share what you really feel. Xx
