• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Im still so angry at him!

sometimes the grieving process is short. sometimes long. more often though; it's a continued course through life. we have triggers that feelings and memories seemingly need to sort through and re-sort through with our exsperiance and spiritual growth.
bless your heart. continue to seek what you need when you get triggered into grief; and chalk it up to our life's trials. there is nothing wrong with you. give yourself a hug... life's trials can be exhausting: but it's not anything we can control. you are still working through these things. normal. we grief years later over intimate things. ~ love dee

RachelsMama... I seem to be telling everyone around here this... but please seek counseling if you have not already. I too have had an abortion, and counseling has been the only thing that has gotten me through the pain, the depression, the hurt, the confusion, the grief.

Let me be the first, but not the last to tell you that your feelings are normal. Every single one of them. I too have felt the things you have felt. Abortion breaks us... but God can heal us. Please look in to finding a Christian organization that can help counsel you... I think you will be surpised to find what you do in your heart... and the growth you will endure.

Oh, please feel free to PM me any time if you need to talk.

You and I share a common thread here. I barely knew him too...we were in college...shared the same friends etc. When I found out I was pregnant....he ran. In fact, he ran straight into the arms of another woman. There I was, left alone, no support with a child growing inside me....while he was gallabanting all over campus seemingly happy and guilt-free. I became invisible to him. I understand totally the resentment you feel towards him...it's almost a bitter hatred. He didn't even know what happened after he dumped me. It wasn't until several years later when we ran into each other again, that he finally found out the outcome. I should have lied, but I told him the truth instead.

Forgiveness is a daily choice...and some days it's very difficult to choose it. I will pray for you honey, that God will give you the strength you need to take that step into recovery...to finally break free of the chains that has held you hostage for so long.

P.S. I was 10 weeks along too
