Hi friends, I really just need to vent and feel like I’ll get support that I need here. I had a previous pregnancy that ended in termination. My ex was adamant he did not want the child, did not see me as a mother, and did not want a family with me. I followed through with termination because I didn’t want my baby to be born into a life so broken from the start. I don’t regret my choice but it does hurt me every single day. I will always mourn my first baby that I never got to have and never got to truly love and care for.

I’m now moved in a different relationship and 10 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend and I are so happy and of course are keeping the baby. I was up front about never having another termination after the emotional and physical pain I endured with the first. He understood and has been supportive especially in my healing.

Today I woke up from a nap and had received a message from my ex asking “how are you” I immediately responded “don’t contact me get fucked” he responded “okay” I showed my boyfriend, then blocked my ex. I am so torn up that he felt that he could reach out to me with a simple “how are you” after what he forced me to endure ALONE. It makes me feel so worthless all over again and like I don’t know, how can he think he can just walk back in and talk to me? I feel like my wound from the termination is fresh again and would just love some support right now please.
