Hi, Penny,
I am very glad you came. I am so sorry for what you are going through!
Forgiving yourself won't be easy. First seek forgiveness from God. He has promised to forgive you if you just ask. After that, you can working on forgiving yourself. Please read the Psalms. In the New Testament, it talks about a man named Saul who murdered Christians. But God reached down and touched him in a special way, and he became the Apostle Paul. I owe my faith to him because he preached to my ancestors. If God is willing to forgive Saul, then He is willing to forgive you. Please ask!
As for your relationship with your boyfriend, it has no future, because he is married to someone else. And he owes his wife his full allegiance. Please find someone else. No, it won't be easy, because you are bonded to him (sexual activity does that), but it won't help you forgive yourself for the abortion, either. Part of being forgiven is turning from a destructive lifestyle. And even if he left his wife, you couldn't trust him to be faithful to you because he has already betrayed one woman, someone he promised to keep and cherish.
Hang in there! Take care of yourself! God loves you and so do we. We will be here for you. Please seek some counseling. You can find some really good programs specifically for abortion experienced women at your local crisis pregnancy agency. Most of the women who run these are abortion experienced themselves, so they know what you are going through. You can find a crisis pregnancy agency near you by going here: www.pregnancycenters.org. Our prayers go with you!
Hugs,
Pat
