“I was once married and part of their universe, although in the end I didn't succeed in having children. But I was quite focused on it. I wanted children with all my heart and did everything I could , even IVF. I looked at the babies around me, read and thought about them. I saw myself in that maternal role. The entire meaning of my life at the time was linked to having children. I felt somehow that I had to have a baby, that everything would be ruined if I didn't, and nothing else was anywhere near as important. That phase of my life lasted a long time. Almost an entire decade.”
