Hey there,

A year ago I had an abortion also. Pet you will never completly forget about it but, believe me, time is a healer. I felt the same way up until about a few months ago but now Im ready to move on because the past cannot be changed. It will be tough, but one day you will see that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that all the original reasons you had for having the abortion will make sense. You never mentioned if You were in a relationship when u became pregnant? If you were I hope your relationship survives (mine didn't: things changed after it)and if you wern't; then you will meet someone special in the future and have children when you are ready. You may be having feelings of wanting a "replacement baby" at the minute, but if you are KNOCK THIS FEELING AWAY because it will not take away your pain. Its great that your family supports you, as my parents still don't know, so cry to them and tell them exactly how you feel. Keep a journal or take up a new course or hobby and really make something of yourself to boost your self esteem. I hope this has helped you. xxx

Gena Bullock agony auntI was in your shoes about 30 years ago...emotions don't change and you never forget about it. But, time does heal and asking God for forgiveness helps too. Just don't beat yourself up about it and try to move on with your life. Do things that you enjoyed doing prior to finding out you were pregnant. Make new friends, go out and get a part time job...stay active. Don't sit in your room and mope or cry. Busy is as busy does. It's the best cure for what you've got right now. Work so hard during the day that you fall right to sleep at night. It's okay to be upset for a short while; that's part of the healing process. At least you had your parents to support you. If I had told mine, I wouldn't be here today probably. THings were different back then--be thankful you have at home support. I did it pretty much ALONE. Keep in touch, Gena
