I Was Frightened

I got pregnant at 41 and 42 with my fiancé/husband while on birth control. I didn’t even think that I was fertile anymore.

My fiancé told me he’d leave if I kept both babies.  I got very frightened, since I already had a 6 and 10-year-old. 

I was coerced into aborting twice, and I ended up divorcing this man after six months.

I have regretted this now for 25 years. The pain is awful, and I sometimes feel like I can’t cope with the pain and the guilt.  I’m not very religious, but I am very spiritual.
