My husband and I had decided we didn’t want more children after having our three beautiful girls. I am home with them and have started homeschooling like many families at our church. Then I found out I was pregnant; this wasn’t in the plan. My husband said he would be supportive of any decision I made. I am the primary caregiver and teacher; he loves them but doesn’t help very much. This weighed heavily on me because adding a baby to what I already manage was overwhelming.
I decided to go ahead with the abortion because it seemed like my only reasonable option. I didn’t want to fail at teaching my girls or my parenting. My husband took me to the appointment and was very helpful. I don’t believe what I did was wrong because God wants what is best for his children, and I am a good person.
I know I can never discuss this with any of my friends at church. We are Evangelical and pro-life, and they will pass judgement on me and my actions. I might have done the same before, but when it was me and it was real life I had to consider all of my options. I wanted help processing my feelings and thoughts so I called Connect & Breathe. She listened, she didn’t say what I did was right or wrong, she just let me talk. I felt much better after just talking it all through. She showed me more resources on their website and told me about a group I can link into. I have started listing my gratitudes in my journal and downloaded a meditation app on my phone. This is hard, but I feel better moving forward.
