For two years, we tried to build a family. What we didn’t know was that the real threat wasn’t infertility — it was pressure disguised as love. And when my parents gave me a choice, I made the wrong one.
The first time my mother said it out loud, she didn’t even lower her voice.
“You’re wasting your life,” she told me at the kitchen table, stirring her tea like she was discussing the weather. “A woman deserves a family. And you’ll never get one with him.”
