Reading through your letter made me want to do nothing more than reach through this computer and hug you so tightly.

You are a GOOD person, a passionate, witty, wonderful person. Never ever forget that.

Baring your soul, letting this dark secret out into the light, letting Light and Love into your heart… these are all steps toward self-forgiveness, toward healing. You did the best you could with what you had at the time – you made a decision and you have taken responsibility for your decision. You’ve spent years lashing yourself in that dark secret place you held in your heart… worrying about how others in your life would see you if they knew… Britt, we see you as human… passionate, fallible, frightened, responsible, brave, kind, loving, worthy, deserving of compassion and understanding from us and from yourself.

We all, every one of us, have regrets of one sort or another… but you are making a right decision now – a decision which will lead to your own self-forgiveness and healing.

Blessings, Love, and Light,
Lynn

You cannot change the past, but you can learn from it.

When I was 19 I ended up pregnant in a very backwards town. I considered doing what you did. I didn’t.

I raised her the best I could with what I had, and she hates my very existence now because what I gave wasn’t good enough.

Your end was painful, but at least it was final. Mine will never fade.

Think of this–yes you have regrets, but your may have had regrets the other way as well.

Blessings, Annie

I hope the person you are with now treats you with the trust and respect you deserve. You lived through a bad time, but you made it to the other side. Perhaps the soul of that baby will be in the body of your firstborn. The time just wasn’t right back then, but it will be, someday. ]]> By: Deborah https://ourunsentletters.com/something-i-never-told-you-by-brittany-chadwick/#comment-1703 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:18:36 +0000 https://ourunsentletters.com/blog/?p=451#comment-1703 Thanks so much for sharing your letter – I hope time allows you to forgive and heal yourself… ]]> By: Andi Caldwell https://ourunsentletters.com/something-i-never-told-you-by-brittany-chadwick/#comment-1702 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:52:26 +0000 https://ourunsentletters.com/blog/?p=451#comment-1702 Brittany, what a beautiful, pain-filled letter. It took a lot of courage to write it and more important, to live through it. Thanks for sharing this with us. ]]> By: Tamara L.

You are a beautiful person and while this pain will never go away, it will make you stronger. I so admire your courage sweetie. ]]> By: Loki Morgan https://ourunsentletters.com/something-i-never-told-you-by-brittany-chadwick/#comment-1700 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:35:20 +0000 https://ourunsentletters.com/blog/?p=451#comment-1700 You will find someone else who will treat you special. When you do I think it might change the way you look back on that situation.

Wonderful writing, I didn’t breath towards the end.

What a brave letter to share, especially with your name on it. Your choice, no matter how painful it was for you, was right for you at the time. I hope someday you can forgive yourself. You weren’t stupid. You were a child.
Now that you are an adult, I wish you all the best, including a baby that helps you forget the pain and sadness.
Best wishes for a long and happy and forgiven life! ]]>
