Post3: Plot Comparison
I relate mostly to the story of "A Secret Sorrow" by Karen Van Der Zee as at one point of my life, circa pre marriage number one, I was Faye. I am also unable to have children so I refused to marry him because of that circumstance. He was exactly like Kai, and convinced me to marry him anyway. We lasted for sixteen years, but the desire to procreate for him was too great. He is now married with two children, and I am happilly married and living the life I thought I could never have.
Many people take forgranted the emotional impact that a barren woman may go through. In my case, I thought it was my punishment for being a lesbian. I thought by marrying a man and hiding my sexuallity I could avoid all the negative feedback usually given. The truth is, I never really wanted to be a parent but we are conditioned that it is the natural way of progression. At first I thought of myself as a transvestite, I looked and lived like a woman, but could'nt trully be considered one if I can't bear children. Now I live my truth, and I understand why "He" made me the way I am. I am loved by others, and now, I also love myself.
