The mental anguish stays forever

I was single and living at home and the man involved was married and my mom's friends had her convinced that she would be saddled down watching the baby.

The physical part was nothing. It hurt for awhile then the pain was gone. The mental part was the hardest and I still carry the scars, and the pain is still there.

I changed my attitude. I resented my mom and I vowed that as long as she lived she would never have any grandchildren, a vow that I'm sorry I kept.

How do you deal with it! It's hard. I talked to close friends and try to forget. Every time I look at my son I still feel the bitter[ness] I had 15 years ago. Nothing in the world has helped…

My abortion has changed my life. Every time I look at my son I think back about what would my son or daughter look like. Also, I have tried to talk to friends who were considering on having an abortion. The physical pain will go away so easily. The mental anguish stays forever.
