My first abortion was right after my divorce. My boyfriend didn't want a baby, and we were hiding it from everyone.
I didn't think I would regret what I did, but I did and turned to drugs. Then two months later I got pregnant again. I didn't want an abortion, and I was almost five months pregnant when my boyfriend dragged me to the car, high on drugs, and took me to a clinic. He said if I didn't have it then he would leave me there and tell my ex-husband, and I would never see my kids from my first marriage. So I had the surgical abortion. I felt trapped. I got addicted to heroin and OxyContin for seven months after that.
I've got my life together and dumped my druggie boyfriend. Now I'm re-married and have a two year old. But I think about those two babies all the time, and I'm in so much pain. I love my two year old but now I'm just angry and emotional all the time. I’m not the person I used to be. I have no joy anymore.
