the guilt afterwards
a little over a year ago i had an abortion. i felt as if it was my only option. im a teenager, i was in an abusive relationship, i could’ve never seen myself spending my life with the boy, i have huge goals after highschool that involve a lot of school, etc. i was 5 weeks and 5 days. no heartbeat, no gender. but i still feel this overwhelming amount of guilt about the whole experience. i still felt the amount of love to the baby as a mother would, but i still like i shouldn’t be allowed to feel those things because i chose to have the abortion. i feel like the guilt and shame i have shouldn’t be there.. because i chose. it’s a hard feeling to explain. is this normal? how do i help myself let go?
