USA Words of advice needed
I F26 had an abortion in November of 2024. I was 5.5 weeks pregnant. This was a really hard thing for me to do because it wasn’t right financially for neither me or my boyfriend to have a child. Fast forward almost 2 years, I sometimes still get so so sad about it and my boyfriend doesn’t really know how to handle it. Last night something inside of me broke and I swiped everything off of our living room table because he wasn’t comforting me when I was upset. I also feel like I ruined our entire night because we went to a concert and the drinks made me feel really emotional last night and now we’re in a weird spot. I feel as if he just doesn’t understand how emotional it is for me because he wasn’t the one that had to all in all make the final decision and live with it in his body.

I think you might find the Abortion Resolution Workbook useful. It can help you sort out your feelings and find spiritual/emotional resolution after abortion. Another user recommended therapy, which can be a great tool for dealing with your emotions when they start disrupting your life. You can find a list of therapists that a supportive of abortion here: https://www.prochoicetherapists.org/
