Regrets about past abortions

That was over 10 years ago.
At that time, I didn't like living creatures called children, I hated my own parents, and both he and I were working jobs that we couldn't tell anyone, and we had an abortion with no options to raise them.
Now I'm married to someone else and have a one and a half year old child, but everyday life is difficult.
It's really just now, but I think every day that Mizuko might be angry, that she has a grudge, or that she's cursing.
I know it's not forgivable, but I don't know what to do.
If I continue to suffer like this, will they forgive me?
Over the past 10 years, I have cut my wrist and attempted suicide many times, and I don't know what is the correct answer, or rather, that I'm not allowed.
Sorry for the incoherent.
From Mizuko's point of view, raising a new child is infuriating, isn't it?
What should I do?

Ichigo-san. That's not true.
They must have forgiven me. That's because in the past you couldn't raise children. I know everything.

If you are concerned about it, why not try raising a water child. That alone should make it easier. Please pour out your love for the child in front of you right now, even for that child. I don't want you to blame yourself.

Why don't they raise water children in the Jodo Shinshu sect?

I think this page is well-organized.

I thought I'd write it, but first, please read all of this.

Do a memorial service with all your heart

I read it. The past is probably painful, sad, and painful in your heart. I understand your feelings.
First, the child is guided by the Buddha and is reborn under the Buddha, and I will ask the Buddha to attain Buddhism with peace of mind and peace of mind and peace of mind, and I will be quiet with Nembutsu. Namu Amida Buddha
Please ask that child to attain Buddhism with all your heart.
The Buddha always listens to and delivers that wish Nembutsu, correctly guides that child, and makes them attain Buddhism under the Buddha.
And they will continue to watch over you. Please continue to sincerely hold memorial services for that child from now on.
You will always meet that child when you live your whole life. Please pray that we will meet again and keep an eye on you.
Your painful suffering until now will be released through a sincere memorial service for that child. And while you are raising your child from now on, that child or many people will support you. Please feel at ease and live a bright and precious future with your children from now on.
That's because they're always watching over me.

They rejoice in mercy

A grudge heart and a curse heart are actually adult logic. When your one and a half year old child was just born, did you ever hold a grudge or curse something? There's no way like that, is it? There must have been times when you got angry. Give me more boobs! I'm not going to take it up! It's like that. But I'm sure those feelings haven't dragged on for hours or days.

The heart of holding grudges or curses is something that grows little by little when intelligence develops, so that shadows stretch as the light gets louder. That's why Mizuko doesn't know about holding a grudge or cursing. They are much purer than adults. It's okay, you're not scolded, or cursed by Mizuko-san. Please don't worry.

Similarly, Mizuko doesn't want you to be hurt or unhappy. Let's stop self-harming. Nobody wants that. I also had the experience of burning my finger on the stove, but it was just an engraving of an old mistake. The discomfort of the scars on the fingertips only reminds me of pain, and it is only getting painful. Self-harm is wrong. Nobody can be saved this way.

This is what Buddha said.
> Be kind in your actions. Share (whatever). Do good deeds. If you do that, you will lead to joy, and your suffering will be destroyed.
(Nakamura Hajime, “Buddha's Words of Truth: Words of Inspiring,” No. 376, Iwanami Bunko, Ao 302-1)

Please take good care of your family and children, even for Mizuko. That is a “good thing.” Let's be kind to the kids in other families without discrimination. If you can be kind to one, it's one's worth, and if you share one thing, it's one's worth of Buddha's heart (bursting with love). That Buddha Heart is the greatest memorial service for Mizuko. Let's offer lots and lots of Buddha hearts. It's a path where everyone can be saved together.
