To make a long story short. . . My step sister has aborted two pregnancies. She got earlier this year by her current boyfriend and has decided to keep it. Well, she lost the pregnancy almost a week ago. Everyone in our family is telling us not to feel sorry for her or to even mention what happened. When she first broke the news her mom told her that is what she getl. Karma or something. That she got rid of her first two and now that she actually wanted one it was taken away. Anyway, I feel really sorry for her. I want to do something nice for her but I don't know what. I don't even know what to say and I don't want to make my step mom or my dad mad for not just ignoring it like they expect us all to do. I feel that she needs some support and she has none, at least from our family.

    I got the advice and I have already called her, had a long discussion with her, and made plans with her for next week. YOU are the ones that turned this ADVICE post into a pro life pro choice discussion so don't bitch and call me a nazi for responding. Get it now?

    Quoting joci2203:

    You are the OP correct?  I thought you actually wanted advice on how to help your step-sister and now you are like the abortion natzi;  I don't get it.


    If I were her I wouldn't want you taking me out to cheer me up after reading what you have wrote lmao! 

    Why? Shes known my stance on abortion and she appreciates me reaching out to her about her miscarriage. We won't be discussing pro life vs pro choice. I guess you should be thanking your lucky stars that you aren't her.

    I guess.


    in love

  • Wow! That's really harsh.  I would take her shopping or something and talk to her about it with no one else around.  Have a nice lunch and maybe get a manicure or something.  Let her know you will listen if she needs a shoulder to cry on.

    Quoting amourepropre:

    Really? Her mom said something along the same lines when I mentioned it isn't right to treat her this way but she just kept going on and on how it wasn't fair what she did to her first two grandchildren and that she got what was coming to her because she ruined her insides.

    Quoting Ann7227:

    Well to be honest if member had done the same. I probably would react the same .

  • well, girls, women, everyone should do a little more research. when you have multiple abortions it increases your chances of having miscarriages.

    Biologically when you abort a child you've screwed your womb to pieces. She may loose her next few babies. This is sad and a hard thing for a mommy. Yes, she did something stupid - use protection for God's sake people!! Yes, she did another something stupid in letting those precious babies go.

    Is she being punished? Is this karma? No. this is her body not being ready to carry a baby because she has put it through so much trauma.

    Encourage her. She needs support right now. She was trying to do the right thing this time and bring this little baby into the world, setting aside the "inconvenience" of pregnancy.

    She knows all the mean things that everyone is saying. She's probably thinking them too. The last thing she needs is her family to lash out at her in hate and anger.

    I don't care what your parents say or what your family thinks. Your sister is mourning the death of her child. If this child was 3 years old when he/she died, your family would mourn with her. You need to mourn with her and support her and be there to cry on. It doesn't matter why the baby died. Her baby died. Focus on that factor and yes - tell your mean ol family to take a hike with their judgments and anger and stick up for your sister. She was stupid, yes. She'll figure that out (or has already) without anyone telling her that. But now she needs you.

    Wow. I dont think I could have said it better myself.  Miscarriage is a hard thing to go through and without support -even harder.  Be there for her despite what your family thinks - and stick up for her.  Take her out for a girls day.  She will be truely thankful.  And hopefully her body will soon be okay for a healthy preg,

  • I had an abortion a couple months ago, and just recently had a miscarriage, I feel like my family doesn't care how I feel, and I feel like my fiance doesn't care either. The best thing you can do for your step sister is to go against what your family says and be there for her. You need to give her the support she needs, just be there for her and that will make a world of difference, try taking her out to lunch or dinner, or just something that involves the two of you.



    I hoped this helped
