Enid's
Story
Hi my name is Enid. I had an abortion 2 years
ago this March. I am looking for someone who wants to talk about the tough time
they are going through after their abortion. I am basically looking for a "support
group". I had an easy time getting the abortion (at 20 weeks), but now
the feelings seem stronger than ever. I doubt my rightfulness of making that decision.
Everyday I ask myself, where would I be if I would have had that kid? would I
be worse of as I thought I would have? would I be on welfare (probably not, my
fiancé has "enough" money)? In reality, was I better off without
my wonderful unborn child?? I think NOT!! I loved that baby indescribably! I could
feel its love and need for me like nothing I have ever felt! I still
pray for that child in heaven, and cant wait to see him/her!!!! God, did I do
the wrong thing!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!???? I would like to help other women trying to
make the decision. Let me tell you one thing. I cry every day. EVERY DAY!!!! thinking
about that baby. I'm sure it's tough having and raising a kid, but I
see how much LOVE and happiness a child brings to its parents/parent and I want
to kill myself for ever giving THAT up!!!! Enid
