It's been a rough road...

I was so afraid of what my parents would think of me and of what others would think. I was to be married in April and did not want to be classified as "she had to get married." So my fiancé and I decided and two weeks before our wedding I aborted.

I was given medication and I remember the table and the vacuum and remember getting sick afterwards. That's all I remember.

It has been a guilt that my husband and I have carried secretly between us for 14 years. It's been a rough road especially with the abortion issue in legislation now.

I shared it with a group of 7 couples of our Marriage Encounter group and one of those couples brought me to our pastor and then he put me in touch with S.A.V.E. It has helped to be able to talk about it to someone.

It has brought me closer to God and made me love my children with all my heart. Also it has made me a very nervous person.
