      I'm so sorry. If you're comfortable with me asking (I can better advise you if I understand), why did this happen? Were you coerced, or did something go wrong? Regardless, know that none of this is your fault and if you want to be a parent, you'll have your chance someday.

        @blue_hearted_rose no I’m okay with you asking it happened because the person I was with said that I had no choice because he didn’t want it and because I was so wrapped up in him I listened and did what he said he also said that I’d be putting the baby at risk because he had epilepsy and he said if I had the baby that I could be putting it at risk of getting that so I had to go all the way to London for an abortion because I was 16 weeks so since I’ve been really struggling and feel so guilty especially because I feel so down because I want my baby back x

          @Cathleenlouise_x that is abusive behavior. I am so sorry. I would seek a therapist with experience in abuse and grief. You will have a baby one day. I know it is difficerent, but I had a miscarriage three years ago. I know I cannot say anything to make it go away. All I can tell you is to trust that your baby is not hurting anymore and their father can never cause the pain he caused you. That's how you get through this. You know now that you can handle it alone if you must. You're strong. You can do it.
