Friend compared my MC to her abortion...

[Banana8080]

I had an early MC, sad but we’ll try again. Recently told an old friend about it and her response was to offer support, but in context that she’d been through similar. By this she meant an abortion she had.

I supported her fully in her decision, and it was a free choice for her, although one she might now regret I believe.

I think it was insensitive. Indon’t think she has a clue and her offer of support is sincere, but she’s misstepped.

Argh guess I’m venting on her so I don’t to her face.

Had she dared to compare her situation to mine I would have been very angry.

You sound very angry at her anyway.

And there, in Hamsterwheelz post, shows exactly why it's deemed unnaceptable to grieve "publicly" or even talk about a termination to others.

You do sound angry anyway Hamsterwheelz You say "had she dared", presumably she hasnt ever "dared" to talk about her loss and compare it with yours but your language shows how much you disdain and judge your SIL for the choice she made. I'm very sorry for your losses.
