My mum's spent half of the day telling me all about her holiday in Bournemouth.

[MrsRajeshKoothrappali]

I had an abortion in Bournemouth years back.

Was horrific. I had to travel down there alone as I was too ashamed to tell anyone, was shown the scan while I was there and told I had a 'healthy 7 week old foetus', and then was left in a waiting room alone for ages before taken into surgery. I then got to travel home. Alone.

I also remember the doctors being pretty unpleasant when I was being referred.

It was a mistake. I regret it daily.

Was at a time in my life when I was so depressed and emotionally battered that I just went along with it.

Told my mum after but her memory's going and I expect she forgot. She wasn't telling me to upset me, she just had a naice holiday and wanted to chat about it. I'm happy for her.

But now they've gone I'm really struggling not to cry. DS is in the room and I don't want him to see me get upset.

I just needed to get it out. Don't really have anyone to talk to about it and it was starting to eat me up inside.

Cheers!!

I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience MrsR, and that the place triggers off bad memories.

You must have felt so alone.

Hope you can cry it out later.

So sorry you had a horrible experience and were not supported as you should have been. You sound like a very brave person and you did the best you could, all on your own and in what sounds like a really bad time for you.

I would have told my mum to STFU. You are very stong!
