Mental stability and abortion
Two years ago I had the worst summer of my life. My father died of cancer, and then shortly after, I found out that I was pregnant and had an abortion. At the time, I was so numb to the pain I was feeling. All I knew was that my father was dead, and that I was in no position to raise a child. To be honest, I'm not even sure that I have yet to allow myself to feel the full extent. My question is this:
How do I know where I stand in my grieving process? I can't tell if I'm healed, haven't even begun the process, or maybe I just don't have the mental capacity to full comprehend the things that I've been through. It's just so confusing, and all I keep asking myself is, "what can a therapist truly do for me, when I have no idea what I'm truly feeling?":confused:
Within the next couple of years I will hopefully be getting engaged to the man of my dreams, and I have no desire to bring my demons into our marriage. I don't even know exactly what I'm asking here...
