How to talk to your kids about your abortion

The majority–61 % of women–who
choose to abort a child before birth will also have the experience of
mothering other children at some point in their lives.

How important is it for your kids to know about that past abortion?

How do you talk to your kids about your abortion? And should you?

These are sensitive questions which require discernment and prayer.
The answers are as deeply and uniquely personal as your abortion story
itself.

Yet, I see real value in speaking truth to your children when the
time is right. The way my kids came to know about my abortion was not
ideal. I learned the hard way what not to do. Don’t assume abortion
should be kept secret. Likewise, don’t share the news of a past abortion
without a very good reason to do so. It takes careful preparation and
 parental wisdom to talk to your kids in a way that will benefit them
and increase their feelings of safety and belonging while maintaining
their innate need to look up to you as  a positive role model.
