Comment on Where Are the Technically Fertile Childless? by sjlarose

Hi, Astrid. I have thought a lot about this over the years. I went through a period of time when my cycles were irregular and my first husband and I tried faithfully to conceive… I thought that I was pregnant three times, and I came to understand later that I had such an irregular cycle that I never could have conceived during that time of my life. Now, many years later, not conceiving is a choice that I make because of meds I take. I still want a child badly. Both situations hurt just as much but in very different ways. It is something that perhaps is worth discussing in a post somewhere.

You make valid points here. A person is not onnly their mental illness. Thats only part of who they are as a human being. Great post.

Jay, you’re right in a way about having to talk about abuse. In the offline group I attended, it’s a rule that you cannot talk about abuse, but it has to be somehow apparent that you went through horrific abuse. Most group members have at one point mentioned at least the kind of abuse (mostly SRA) they went through. As a person who was not ritually abused, I often felt a bit left out. -Katinka

Hi, I want to thank you for this. I just linked it at our Guest Articles page, also it's now a sublink on On Being The Proper Multiple by Sara Lambert. People need to see this. Wow, I remember when it was all like this back in the mid- to late 90s. So many "welcome to all" MPD forums and chats were really "halt and give the password". In one well-known IRC chat at the time, two from our group were thrown out for switching! Only thing different, in those days, you *had* to talk about your horrific abuse. Partly this was to encourage survivors to speak openly and stop the silence, but too often it was used as your ticket to being a valid multiple. Oh, and how about this: You have to call the people in your group parts or alters. You cannot call them people. Aargh.
