the first clinic I went to wouldn't give me an abortion because I was in tears and clearly unhappy about the decision to have the abortion. It was run by an old doctor who had been doing abortions since before they were legal, and he was actually sort of snippy and cruel about me wasting his time.
The thing is...I knew the abortion was the right thing to do, it just devastated me to have to do it. I don't think those are conflicting emotions, regardless what old men with stethoscopes want.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. I hope it works out for you.
hey, rene. i dunno if you'll see this since you seem to be swamped with comments on all kinds of websites.
but for what it's worth, my summer 2009's been pretty similar to yours and it managed to bollock up my brain for quite a while and it was my first taste of life actually being pretty difficult and i kinda got flung in at the deep end. (3rd panel on the 2nd page brought back some pretty visceral memories, i can tell you. ) so i'm sure you can understand how strongly i'm wishing that you're stronger than me and have more support than i did.
as for A<3M, i feel like such a dick for wondering when you'd update again and whatnot and for that i'm really sorry. but i hope that despite everyone's bitching you can see how much people enjoy this thing you've created and from the more patient comic comments it looks like you've acquired some pretty sound fans :]
i dunno. this is looking far too much like a superficial ego-massage than i'd have liked but at least it might get lost in cyberspace.
I know you don't know me at all, but I'm going to tell you what I wish someone had told me: it gets better. Even if you have doubts about it right now, eventually you'll fully understand that you did the right thing for yourself. It may - and probably will - get worse before it gets better but it does, eventually, incrementally, get better. Eventually, you will realize you haven't looked someone else's baby with longing or mentally counted on your fingers how old that kid would be, and maybe realizing you haven't thought about it will make you feel shitty all over again, but it gets better.
