I’ve been married for 10 years.
I have been suffering, even before I got married, from a disease in my uterus.
It prevents me from having children.
I underwent more than one operation in the hopes that, one day, I could be a mother.
The disease also induced other health-related problems.
I feel like a second-rate woman—or that I’m not a woman at all, because of the way people, especially in-laws and relatives, see sterile women.
They think I’m jealous that they have children, and that I’ll give them the evil eye.
I now suffer from depression and obsessive thoughts because of the stress and pressure I’m under.
