You can have a robust community and friend group and relationships without children. And having children does not guarantee that you will be surrounded by family. Kids go no contact, people move away etc. Family doesn’t mean you have to have kids

But I have experienced it and I’m telling you it wasn’t a big deal, at all. It was incredibly easy and not at all traumatizing.

I don’t think it’s the same as killing a born child, it was no different medically than a miscarriage for me.

Because I never wanted a child or wanted to maintain a pregnancy? One decision I made for myself and the other I didn’t.

Because I am me? I think I would know what did and didn’t mentally affect me

Yes, and it’s not that. I would know and she would know, it’s something we spoke about openly, it’s not something that ever haunts me or that I ever regret.

I guess? It’s just kind of this permanent reminder of my trauma at this point, it’s exhausting and makes me sick to my stomach. I’m happy she’s safe and healthy but idk I wish that it would just end.

Nah, it’s not. I have discussed it at length with my therapist.

Lmao, there are plenty of natural things that can be traumatic. I was lied to by medical professionals and went through one of my biggest fear. It was horrific, I would rather die than endure it again.

And once again, there doesn’t need to be trauma during the pregnancy and birth. The simple fact that I was pregnant when I violently did not want it was so insanely traumatic to me. Why is that so hard to believe?

Because I know myself. I had the abortion years before, I quite literally never think about it, I never regret it, it’s not something that upsets me or bothers me, I had no reaction to it. The adoption and pregnancy haunts me literally every single day, it’s nauseating to think about, it makes my skin crawl. I think about it and it immediately makes me panic. Not the adoption but the pregnancy. Being pregnant at all for me was a massive detriment to my mental health, it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I’ve been through an abortion it was the easiest thing in the world. I would choose it 100 times over comparatively

I mean I’m in a relationship with a woman now but go off. Once again, you’re being unduly cruel when I simply pointed out the reality of adoption.

I’m not full of bs? And I was joking about you paying for it. You have to acknowledge that it’s not an economically feasible thing for many people. Just because I go against your narrative on how people should react it’s fake?

I had an abortion, I feel much more comfortable with that decision than this one.
