Did you tell your parents?

Question

Did you tell your parents you got an abortion? I got one at 19 and still have not told them (I'm 22 now) because I did not want to involve them in my situation or have them go through the repercussions of my mistake. I'm curious if others did the same or chose to tell.

Answer

No way in hell. It's something I'll take to my grave.

Answer

Yes my mum came with me, and looked after me afterwarda

Answer

I had weird complications with the antibiotics they gave me after the abortion and I ended up in the hospital with a hole in my esaphagus and she ended up finding out because of that. She went wailing down the hall telling everyone she saw that her daughter had an abortion. Plus she brings it up all the time. That was 15 years ago and I still wish she didn't know. I vote don't tell your parents, but that is based on my experience.

Answer

My mum came with me didn't tell my dad because he's against them

Answer

My mom was my #1 through the whole thing. I'm really lucky I had her and that she was so supportive.

Answer

I did because I was 17 and had to get parental consent. I haven't told them about the others. But I know that if I told my mom she would be supportive, or rather hold no opinion other than that I did what was best for me at the time. She has told me about her 3 abortions. She's very matter of fact about these things. My dad, on the other hand, would be very sad about learning of my other abortions. He'd still be supportive, but he's an idealistic and emotional person who still laments the abortion his girlfriend had before meeting my mom.

Answer

I was raped resulting in my abortion at 4/5 weeks. Yes they knew and offered love and support

Answer

My mom found out by reading my diary -_-

Horrible mistake. She can't stand that I'm with the guy that I'm with now.
