Guilt 3 months after abortion
I had an abortion 3 months ago and I thought I was handling it very well once it was over. I struggled with feelings of guilt and sadness leading up to it and also days after it but I knew I did it for reasons that felt right to my partner and I. I wish I could have kept it but we decided we weren't in a stage in our life where we could raise a child the way we would like to. ( we both still live at home) I think about it quite often but typically I dont let it get to me. Well this is the first mother's day I am experiencing since it happened and here I am crying at 2am because the guilt is consuming me and I cant help but to wonder what the baby would have been like. Im not sure if this is what other women have experienced or if its normal to have a delayed stage of grief for this sort of thing. I dont really have anyone else I can share this with ATM and just wanted to get this off my chest and to know I am not alone...
