• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My parents didn't necessarily plan to have me. I just happened to happen before they could adopt. But after thinking for the past few months. I should have been aborted. oooooohhh. I just said the "a" word. Or maybe the other "a" word depending on how much atheism is frowned upon here. Am I pro-choice? Well, you didn't give the baby a choice not to get thrown into a fallen world and feel endless pain. So I guess it's bad all around. Have an abortion, get hated by the Christian community. Get an abortion, save the child from being hated by the world. Since by rule the Christian community is smaller than the world, which is the greater compassion? Tired of being forced to stay in a world that doesn't love me, by people who don't love me, because the people that don't love me are adamant that "someone" loves me. Who's right? Am I a wretched sinner, or twice-born, heaven bound, joint heir with Christ ? Tired of fighting the pain.

If you keep thinking along the ways of the world, there's little if any hope....

Remember Jesus was born into a world , the world and people HE created,
and they hate Him and reject Him. THE CREATOR - HIMSELF.... He let Himself suffer
such humiliation, billions upon billions of times greater
than we can even imagine or ever go through ourselves....
HE SAID - the world does not love you.
He told you up front.
(doesn't matter if you're unsaved or saved) The world hates you.

The world will continue hating you until Jesus returns. Period.

Only God loves you. And His true children. (not the actors on the stage of life 'pretending')

God provided everything you need for salvation today, in this world and life,
and for the life to come.
HIs Word will show you how to enter into His Kingdom, if you seek Him and His Kingdom in truth.
Turn to Him (that's what repent means)
Turn to Him, for the Kingdom of God IS AT HAND.
He, and ONLY HE, can heal you and restore your soul and forgive you and cleanse you
or forgive or cleanse any of us, from all ungodliness. Completely. Now. Today. Right Now.

I kinda understand how you feel.. I dont think its right to force kida into such a fallen ugly ugly world..it seems unfair to come here unwillingly so I choose not to have kids..

If someone would have shown me that this is the life of be living, I would have said nope,nope,N.O.

But we didn't get to decide..and were here now..so you can't think about past it does no good all you can do is make a better future

I know exactly how you feel. I found out at nearly age 45 that not only was I not expected or wanted, but that my parents were not even married. I was so freaked out I gained 40 pounds in 3 months. I never felt a part of the world, I have always been separate and apart, even on this website, two people already have told me off and I only joined several hours ago, but finding out I was illegimate, just seemed to put it all together for me then. I was not supposed to be here, but got here anyhow, that was the reason for so much suffering.

There's never been a child who should have been aborted. It is God who uses people to give birth to children to be made into his likeness. It is fallen people and sin in the world that makes life painful. God loves you exactly as you are. What happened on earth to make you doesn't affect that in any way at all.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39, 1984 NIV)

Jesus said:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. (John 14:1, 1984 NIV)

God is speaking about the nation of Israel, however it shows us an aspect of himself which is true for each of his children:

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10, 1984 NIV)

For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13, 1984 NIV)

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11, 1984 NIV)

Replace your thoughts about yourself with thoughts about Jesus and God's promises. Seek him to help you with anything and everything.
