Elle
I am almost 20 years old. When I was 18, I fell pregnant; with twins. Being of a strong Christian back ground I knew how bad abortion was, and even though I had always said I would never have an abortion, when faced with these circumstances I didn’t know where to turn. I neglected my family, mainly because they were extremely pushy about it all, and I was so ‘in love’ with my boyfriend, that I would have rather made him happy then even myself.
Long story short, I was staying at my boyfriends parents place and let them dictate how I was to go about things. I caved in, and said yes to the abortion, and within 36 hours the deed was done. I knew as soon as I had agreed, that I was making a mistake. Every single day since that day, I have wished that I was stronger.
I was young, and un educated. I made so many excuses, and the fact that I was already having so many issues with my pregnancy. I stayed extremely angry at myself for a very long time. My boyfriend, didnt even stay with me. we didnt even last 3 days after the abortion. I got heavy into drugs, and partying. After a month or two I became numb. I literally did not feel a thing. I was severely depressed and extremely suicidal.
what has happened to me, even though I was weak, has only made my desire to help stronger.
