Hi Christine
I know how you feel. I had an abortion 2 years now and often I feel so very alone. At first, my boyfriend (the father) told me too to forget it and move on. But that was all he knew what to do. I felt myself spinning in a whirlpool of depression and nothing would make me better. Today, I'm working through it. I read a really amazing book about 6 months ago called "Forbidden Grief" by Burke and Reardon. I asked my boyfriend to read it and his attitude has completely changed. He now realises that what he said was wrong and insensitive and he is doing he utmost to help me. He said that he didn't know how to deal it with it himself and felt that brushing it under the carpet would help, but it didn't, it made things worse. If you can ask your boyfriend to read this book, it truely helped me, my boyfriend and our relationship for the better and now instead of battling this alone, I have him to help. It makes such a difference not to suffer it alone.
