Thank you everyone

It helps in a sick sort of way that others have been through this, or a similar situation, too. It's a strange sense of comfort to know I'm not to only one to have gone through such a trauma. I've been seeing psychiatrist for three years but he doesn't know anything about this at all. I intend to tell him at our next appointment in about 9 days.

You're so not alone ):
It's really unrecognised the trauma abortion can cause, esp coerced abortion. That really is enough to cause PTSD - well, they call is PASS (post abortion stess syndrome)
It's interesting that you stressed your PTSD was from
Another incident, not this - as if you expected judgment for your feelings. I would have done the same probably Iv I'd been brave enough to bring it up.
But how awful is that, even on s site like this, so full of different and varied traumatic experiences, it still feels like there is the possibility of being shamed for speaking of being traumatised by this.
It's horrible.
There's another site on the net called the PASS forum set up for women to talk about it to each other if you're interested in that.
Its safe as everyone there understands and has felt the pain
