14 weeks pregnant after an abusive relationship

By anonymous on 06/01/2012
I have been thinking about abortion.
I'm 14 weeks and I already have two kids. I live with my mother after living with my kids' father since I was 18. Now I'm 27 barely graduated from nursing school.
I was in a situation where I had an abusive relationship with my previous baby's father. I tried to stick it out and stay but it was cheating, physical abuse and verbal abuse. I felt so small and I couldn't take it.
After having my second child my kids' father became weird and a year later he killed himself. I was so hurt and I couldn't believe this was happening to me.
The whole moral of the story is I'm pregnant now and I'm with a guy who I told my whole story to and now within the two years of being together he's becoming that same exact guy. I really want an abortion, it's just everyone knows and I really don't want a situation where I'm back in that abusive situation. I can't stand to see myself back in that kind of relationship again.
I'm starting to be way unattracted to him. I just want my next baby to be by my husband and someone who respects me and loves me. I want this abortion but I need someone to talk to because I'm only scared of the feeling during and after the abortion.
