    Is it possible you can spend some time at your parents or somewhere and separate yourself from them? I think it would be easier to grieve and reflect on things without someone trying to make you feel bad.



    I would also express to your boyfriend that you don't appreciate the way he's treating you. Even though the choice you made is not the one he and his family might have preferred, you still deserve support and love. What's done is done and he either needs to help you get through the process and stick by you because he still loves you, or if this has affected the relationship too much for him to overlook it while being with you, he needs to let you go because it's not fair to you.



    More than a few clinics offer counseling or can recommend post-abortion counseling locally if you feel some support outside of your family and talking about it with other women who have gone through the same thing would be helpful. :)

      Thanks so much for your response! I suggested to him that we give each other some time and that I'd give him some space. I realize this was tough for him as well, especially since he was raised in a strong pro-life household. We've been sleeping separately recently (my suggestion, again) and I'm probably going to stay with my parents for a couple of days coming soon. He definitely wants us to get through this together but it's going to take some time. Sometimes I feel like his family gives him a little too much advice and even though he knows the abortion is what was best, he can't keep his family out of his ear telling him otherwise. I just hope he can get away from his family's opinion long enough to see what I did was for both of our futures.
