We know that women are not the only ones who suffer from an abortion decision. We offer healing assistance for men as well. They may be hurting because they are pressured or encouraged their wife or girlfriend to have the abortion, they may have consented to the abortion even though they wanted the baby, they may not have known about the abortion ahead of time, or they may have tried unsuccessfully to stop the abortion. Men may experience the following symptoms and/or behavioral clues:
- Relationship struggles
- Inability to trust friends
- Rage
- Addictions
- Sexual compulsions
- Sleeplessness, nightmares
- Sexual dysfunctions
- Depression
- Fear of failure
- Fear of rejection
- Loneliness or numbness
If they are struggling with any of these issues as a result of an abortion decision, men are able to speak to another man who has also experienced the pain of an abortion decision. They may call (904) 262-6300, ext.25 and leave a confidential message or email us at AHA@fcws.org.
