[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. One more thing. The year was 1998. Getting a morning after pill required a doctor's prescription at the time. I had to get an appointment at Planned Parenthood before I could get the pill. By the time I made the appointment, arranged transportation to get there, etc., it was about 24 hrs. later. I believe the morning after pill became more available after that time (I have never needed it since). [/quote]

It would have worked fine after 24 hours and your doctor would have told you this. [b]The disorganization (forgot multiple pills, couldn't get organized to get plan B, lied to boyfriend) is a classic sign of mental illness that was going on before you ever got pregnant.[/b] It's definitely for the best that you did not become a mother at that time in your life. Please work with a good therapist to address your issues.[/quote]

I have to agree.  OP I'm a recovered Catholic too so I understand the mindf*ck it can create but I don't think that your reaction to this abortion 20 years later is reasonable.  If you had not had that abortion, your entire life would have changed.  Your current children [b]would not exist[/b].  Do you regret them?  Then let go of the regret about the abortion.  It happened, whether it was a mistake or not.  The relationship was still in the head over heels phase - 3 months in is not a clear picture of what it would have been (or if it could have lasted) longer term.  You are romanticizing it to the point of doing your current marriage a disservice.  If you think your DH was upset when you told him about getting an abortion years before you met, I don't understand why you cannot understand how much worse it will be for this long-ago ex, who will be much more personally affected.[/quote]
