we have all lived with the inability of friends to reall ybe there fo rus after an abortion. I think there are a lot of reasons for that, one being they honestly do no t know what to do…which is even harder when they have their own issues…prayers for this women t find some PA healing as well…

Friend dumping after abortion and depression

I had a very close friend for a while. We were both 21 when we first met (now we’re 25) and were going to college together. She was funny, she’s the kind of girl that you would notice in a room because she’s very loud and social, I’m much more quiet and pensive. When we met we were both going through a very ambiguous time in our lives, we were both having issues in unhealthy relationships and felt our career was unsatisfying. We started hanging out and became closer when both of our relationships ended, I was always there for her, and she was there for me, in her own capacity to be. Sometimes she seemed like a lot to handle, she became erratic and had issues with her own sexuality, we were both confused and we both fell into a profund state of sadness that after all, was relieved with our friendship, we made plans together, talked for hours and trusted in each other. I decided to start going to therapy, while they kicked my friend out of school for bad grades. She decided to go to a rehab program outside the city for a couple of months and she came back saying she was brainwashed and ready to get back to her life. I have to say that she did a good job, she started a new career, Literature, which we both loved. While that happened I was sinking into depression, my therapy wasn’t working and I started having real trouble studying, I used to be one of the best students but by that time I came to fail two semesters of college.
