Sounds to me like a whole lot of none of your god damned business. Sit the fuck down.
Same as I do knowing my mother had a miscarriage. Wonder what my sibling would have been like. A little sad. But like many other things in life it is a what if that has no answer.
I wouldn’t think or feel anything about it because it’s none of my business

My mom had a few, and guess what? Not my damn business like your mom’s is none of yours.
It would make me feel like my mom put me first not an unborn child. I would feel sad for my mom that she was in a position where she had to make that choice, I would feel proud that she was able to do what she felt was right for me and for herself. I would tell her how strong she is and that I love her and she shouldn’t have any regrets for the choice she made.

Be thankful she felt she could tell you this. It’s been something she’s carried around that needed to come out. There is no mention of assault but if she did this for the safety of herself and her children she made what was the right decision at her present time. You don’t have to agree or disagree. She wasn’t telling you for approval. She was telling you because she was unloading a burden she’s carried and wanted you to know.

She should have chosen the child’s life over the shut husband n left him soon as she found out, but really it was her choice the decision doesn’t affect u either way really . I’d be upset knowing she was willing to stay with this bad husband with her living kids but it absolutely wasn’t good enough for one in her stomach now that idk how I’d feel about. If she got rid of the baby to save it from the likes of the husband’s then what the fuck was she doing having you around him . THAT would be whats pissing me off
She did what she felt was best in a hard situation. Have you asked her how it made her feel and feels? Rather than being worried about the fact she had an abortion, which by the way isn’t your business. Sorry

I think your mother already feels bad enough, she doesn’t need you making it worse. She did what she felt was best. Remember if you’ve never been in that position you’ll never know truly how she felt❤️ take it easy on her, as moms we always put guilt on ourselves, we need more support- not judgement.

I wouldn’t feel anyway about it to be honest. I was adopted out at 2 months old and didn’t really get to know much of my bio siblings except one sister til I was grown. They were never really there so them really not being there now is no different and they are alive. If my mom aborted any I don’t think I’d feel any type of way about it. The household I grew up in their daughter was 12 years older than me and was gone a lot so I was an only child as I was basically always alone til older. Way I see it, wasn’t my choice to make so who am I to judge.

I think your mom made a very hard decision but ultimately the best decision for her. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for her. I’m thankful every day my ex and I never had a kid together. I don’t know if I would have been strong enough to make that decision and my life as well as the childs would be pure hell right now.
I would feel like it isn’t my choice to have any feelings about her choice.

So she allowed you to be mistreated but saved another life from that treatment. I’d be upset- not for the abortion but because she clearly recognized that he was abusive and stayed with him for years allowing you to be abused. Aint that some
Bullshit. And she never left. HE left HER. So she’d still be there if he hadn’t
This is about your mom. Not you. You can feel anyway you want but your mom is probably looking for support now that your older. She’s the one who had the abortion and was in a bad marriage

In my opinion it doesnt concern me had I been in your situation. It was your mothers choice and I would support her now knowing it. Itsnot an easy decision she had to make at the time but to her it was what she needed to do due to the circumstances. I def wouldnt harp on the subject and bring it up in all honesty as its in the past and it is her story to tell in which she did and would personally leave it as such.

Obviously she was worried you’d be upset about having no brother or sister, so she wanted you to know why she made her decision. You said you’re not upset about being an only child, and that your stepfather wasn’t very nice and that he left her for another woman, and that he was awful to you and her. You’ve already justified it in your mind, so I’m not understanding why your question is how we’d feel. Is someone telling you that you should feel differently?

No type of way bc she made the best choice for her mental health, your safety and hers. Don’t question her why’s it’s not for you to do that. She had to get it off her chest and felt it best to let you know, it takes alot of bravery on her end to do that and confess this to you. Hug her, tell her you love her. Appreciate that she’s not toxic and is living and able to be in your life. Let this go, you choose battles everyday, do not let this be one of them.

It’s a part of her story. If she had the baby she’d be attached to an abusive man for life. She made the right choice and you were too young to tell such damaging things too. She waited until you were older and could understand. And she put you first, which I also do with my only daughter.

Doesn’t make any sense how her choice to have an abortion effects you in anyway. It’s really not up for debate when it’s not your body… the way I see it is your just trying to find something to be upset about even tho it’s doesn’t concern you in anyway.

Her body,her choice. She did it to protect you. No judgement. I gave a baby up for adoption for the same reason, didn’t want to be tied to the father forever and thought it was the best choice for my other kids(2) who were not his. Abortion was out of reach financially for me at the time. That child and I found each other a few years ago after his father passed away.

She knew that to bring another child to a bad marriage, made her choose 
Don’t judge her
She felt like she made the best decision for both of you at the time. How is an abusive stepfather the kicker here? More like a reason and a damn good one too!
My mother had 2 abortions in her life. 2 she was quite young and not able to have a child at 16. At that time, abortion was not legal and she said that wouldn’t been able us to give anyone a reasonable life.
At least she was honest with you about it, probably because she is still carrying that weight over all these years. No one is worth to judge without being in the others people shoes. She probably didn’t want to bring another child to this world with such a horrible men to her.
And that was her choice and her right. It’s part of her story.
Your feelings should be supportive for doing what she believed was best.
The thing is, it doesn’t matter how anyone feels now or then. Your Mom had to make a hard choice that was best for her, not based off the opinions of others.

She did what she thought was best for everyone. The problem I see here is not leaving your stepfather sooner. life sometimes just doesnt works out as we wish.
I would just want to be supportive of her and her choice and reassure her that it doesn’t change anything about how I feel for her and I love her. I wouldn’t feel anything other than supportive, it’s her life and that was her choice to make, it wouldn’t be my place to think anything else.
I’d be more upset that she let you stay in a crappy situation with an abusive step father until you were 16. She knew the abuse was so bad that she couldn’t bring another child into it, but let YOU stay in it until her cheated.

I hate when people say “they didn’t give me a sibling” no one is entitled to a sibling. You’re not the one that would have to carry it for 9 months, give birth, care for it physically emotionally and financially for a bare minimum of 18 years. It sounds like she didn’t want to be tied to your stepfather for life.

You’re not angry about the abortion you’re angry bc she’s a bad mother.
& I think a lot of these comments are missing the point. The situation was too abusive for a new child, but acceptable for the OP, the living child experiencing this bad situation along with the mother based on her choices.
I’m sorry she let you down. I hope you’re able to forgive her
