Teen Abortion Issues

I had been dating my boyfriend for a year when he started talking about having a baby. I knew it wasn’t the right choice because we were both too young, but I wanted to keep him happy because I was scared he’d leave me. so I stopped taking my birth control and we started trying to have a baby. About a month went past, and then he told me he was leaving me for someone else. Two weeks after that I found out that I was pregnant.

I told him that I was pregnant and that he should come back and be with me and our baby, but he told me that he was already with someone else and he loved her and never wanted anything to do with me again, and he told me to get an abortion because he didnt want a kid. My world felt like it was crumbling under my feet. I couldnt breathe. I knew I couldn’t do it by myself, so I thought about adoption, but when I told my parents they immediately freaked out on me, so abortion seemed like my only option.

I called my now ex-boyfriend and begged him to go with me, but he told me that I did this to myself so I can get rid of it by myself. I didn’t know what to think. I just didn’t understand how this was happening to me, but I knew I had to get an abortion, so I did. I immediately regretted it. I was hyperventilating and crying in the clinic, and when I got home I delved really hard into drugs and alcohol trying to escape what I had just done. Almost two years have gone past now, and it’s just now starting to get a little easier… although every day I regret the decision I made.
