One Person's Experience with Anger and Shame

This is the experience of anger and shame reported by someone else: "I felt anger and shame about my abortion. When my parents found out that I was pregnant they decided to quietly resolve the situation by not letting the church know. I felt that their reputation in the church was more important than my feelings of confusion, my sadness. I'm angry at my mother for allowing me--and sort of dragging me--to the clinic. I had no say. My feelings and my thoughts didn't matter to her. Now I feel shameful that I'm angry at her and I can't seem to forgive my parents. I'm angry at myself for allowing them to bring me to the clinic. I'm angry at God for allowing this to happen."
