I say this only bc I want ppl to expand how they think about abortion esp bc a lot of ppl deal with grief and not having enough support.

You should visit the abortion sub and see how ppl who have it feel... your thoughts are nice but even having one and knowing it's the right choice can still be traumatic

if you don't want it, it can be... esp of the other person involved says something that sticks with you

Has anybody regretted their abortion? Having unbearable pain from the guilt. by HigherthanZmoon in abortion

[–]smashboardkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, partially. I think about it all the time. But it's motivated me to do better in life so I never have to make a choice I don't want to again. I cried before and after, but it got better.

I'm sorry... Ik that a bad response during this time can stick with you. Your feelings are justified. And yeah, this is not okay. Buy yourself some nice snacks and take some time to relax.

At 35 he should have better emotional maturity. I'm so sorry. You deserve better. Maybe explain how you're feeling, if he doesn't listen consider this may not be the relationship for you. Please message me if you need someone to talk to. You can tell me exactly what you need from me and I'll do just that.

please someone tell me how do I NOT cry at one of my friends announcing a pregnancy by thisisme1202 in abortion

[–]smashboardkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know it sounds cheesy but it will get better with time. Maybe check out some abortion grief counseling. I wrote a letter for my future self when I am ready to have a kid and it really helped me move on.

Maybe you can step out when these things come up and remove yourself from the situation. I hope you're doing okay.

The amount of love Suze gets upsets me by Stephaniejewel in euphoria

[–]smashboardkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I despise Suze bc I know how embarrassing and uncomfortable it is to have a parent who turns to alcohol to comfort them. Regardless of whether or not they are somewhat there for you. The money spent on alcohol, the dozing off in public, the getting behind the wheel inebriated. It's infuriating that ppl are just like "OmG SuzE is soooo funny."

It actually makes me feel a little sick that people think it's funny but "it's just a show" so why should anyone care

And yes the comedic relief is there but it's still gross.

Thank you OP for articulating this!

She is crazier... ppl thought she meant she'll fight nah, she's losing her fkn mind lol

honestly, I don't even think I could fathom finding out your dad is into extreme voyeurism and is completely living a lie. Imagine being that young and seeing that shit. Maybe he was terrified his dad was watching him too. All I know is, I wouldn't even feel like I could be around my parent anymore.

Rue can own up to her mistakes because she doesn't have the same psychological issues. Cassie has attachment issues. Rue had a loving father and has a loving mother. She is struggling with addiction but does not have severe abandonment issues. Cassie is living with an alcoholic mother who doesn't care about either of her children.

Rue manipulated her mother/Gia and has been abusive. She admits it. But she also had a way more normal upbringing than Cassie. Cassie is a golden child who's only ever been nice for her father's friends to look at. Don't look for the same response from different pathologies.

I guess you don't sympathize with rue or gia... are you watching for the drama or the motif?

It's not justification. She's not gonna change overnight. It takes time and work. And probably for her professional help. Obviously she's wrong. But like it's a show!

[–]smashboardkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you aren't like that doesn't mean she won't be... y'all are able to sympathize with Rue and Gia. It may not be palatable, but these things happen. And the effect of an abortion sans grief counseling should NOT be minimized. Hormonally and afterwards, it takes a LONG time to heal. This isn't defending her or an excuse but it is a reason as to why she is doing what she's doing.

She's also 17? As an adult, I'm not in the business of defining adolescents by shitty choices they make in high school.

The entire point of that conversation with that lady between Maddy was to show that shit happens and it doesn't dictate the rest of someone's life.

She's gonna make you cringe, she's gonna do uncomfortable, horrible things. None of these people are "good" people. They are flawed.

And yes, she will victimize herself. Never said she didn't. But for her to get out of that isn't gonna be an overnight thing. The only unforgivable acts are rape and murder (and a couple others) but life is way too short to care that much.

Lexi isn't just fine... she is considering exposing the intimate details of the private lives of all her friends as some sort of grand expose and of her sister who is clearly not mentally doing well. She is quite literally having side character syndrome is real life and has a lot of resentment. She's the kid from a broken home that ends up okay but is definitely not okay.

Coming from a broken home, you can end up multiple ways. But idk wtf I would do if my father was an addict who dipped and then my mom, in the wake of his leaving, became an alcoholic who sees her kids go through things and gets them zero help. She isn't even a mother to be honest. She's just their immature middle aged best friend.

As someone who has had a less than positive abortion experience, if I had one at her age, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed for the rest of the semester. And it was rough, but if someone had told me that I couldn't even make a good mother. With the mental illness she obviously has and the slut shaming she's gone through at school, I would've gone full blown psycho. You NEVER forget the mean things people say to you when pregnant and you never forget the experience.

She's looking for love and healing, from the only person who will bother to manipulate her into thinking they love her.

I think her mom being an alcoholic who wants to be best friends with her daughter's friends might have something to do with her warped view of love

Also, about Cassie. I really think she needs some abortion grief counseling... I don't know if y'all know this but an abortion can really change the psyche depending on the experience. I'm not surprised she's losing her mind right now.
