Suicide is not an isolated issue that begins overnight. The path of someone who may consider ending their own life often starts with a deep sense of sadness and depression, frequently triggered by a breakup or abandonment. When emotionally that person cannot find a way out or rise from the circle of sadness they have fallen into, they may begin to imagine how to end their life. The idea of suicide grows larger than themselves until, eventually, they carry it out—almost silently.
Suicide knows no age; it can affect both young people and the elderly. Most of these anxieties, sorrows, and emotional breakdowns are caused by issues related to romantic relationships, unrequited love, loneliness, or family misunderstandings.
The End of a Relationship Due to Rejection of the Mother and the Baby
In interviews conducted by the Institute for Social Research on Induced Abortions in 2003 in Copenhagen, Denmark, it was revealed that abortion had become an emotional consequence of problematic relationships in the lives of many young women. The rejection by the baby’s father and their families led them into a state of emotional collapse. Feeling completely alone, many chose abortion as their only way out.
That was the case of Katrine, who shared:
“I was in love with my boyfriend, and he loved me too, but when I got pregnant, he got angry. Suddenly, I found myself in a situation where I didn’t know what to do. My parents are very religious and looked at me with contempt. They told me I would go to hell if I had the baby. It was an incredibly hard situation—the hardest I’ve ever experienced.”
Emotional Maturity — A Value to Be Developed
The principle of emotional maturity can be understood through Newton’s law: every action has a reaction. In Katrine’s case, we can observe the following:
-
She entered a sexual relationship without reflecting on the potential consequences of pregnancy.
-
In her mind, she lived a romantic narrative: she believed her boyfriend truly loved her. But his anger and later abandonment proved otherwise.
-
Katrine also accuses her parents of judging her harshly and suggests that, because of their strong religious beliefs, they told her she would go to hell if she had the baby. While we can’t know for sure which religion she refers to, in Christianity abortion is considered murder, which adds a heavy moral burden to an already emotionally overwhelming situation.
A Woman’s Responsibility in Motherhood
A woman’s decision to engage sexually with men who do not see her as someone to build a family with must be explored, understood, and emotionally addressed at every stage of life.
All human beings are born alone and will die alone. However, the woman is the only being on Earth who is born alone and who, during her fertile years, can carry another human life in her womb for nine months. She will, of course, die alone when her time comes, but in the meantime, during pregnancy, she is solely responsible for that new life—whether she is supported or not.
Conclusion
Therefore, a woman’s emotional maturity lies in the full awareness of her role as a co-creator of the human species. If she is abandoned, rejected, or belittled during her life, the wisest and bravest thing she can do is to have her child and develop the emotional intelligence needed to care for herself and the new life growing inside her.
Sadness, rejection, and judgment should not be the end of the road—for her or for the baby. On the contrary, they should mark the beginning of an inner transformation that leads the woman to rediscover her worth, her strength, and her purpose.
