tl;dr Amy is a contemptible creature destitute of character who made a bed she's too fat and lazy to lie in.I would love to know more about Amy's miscarriage tard meltdown. Inquiring minds want to know what she shouldn't have done but did anyway.
She's told the story before and is deliberately vague about her "suicide attempt' because it didn't happen.
She'd just had another baby she didn't want nor love and being deprived of attention, she had a massive tantrum in front of her Egyptian mother in law and took to her room where she flung herself onto the floor. There is no second chapter where she is rushed to the hospital and is revived from whichever method she chose to escape her tortured existence, because it never happened. All we know is Awlee found her in a nick of time and saved her so that she might live to abuse her children.
She's using the miscarriage of another baby she didn't want as the reason she didn't love nor attach to Omar many years later. I am convinced that were it not for the presence of Awlee and Jeremiah, both of those baybees would either be dead from accident or neglect, or in vegetative states. JFC, when Miah was only two, he was in ICU and on life support (according to Amy) over some preventable illness she neglected to attend to. Esraa had a burst ear drum that landed her in the ER thanks to her grotesque parody of a mother ignoring a simple ear infection.
I am not overly sympathetic to the emotional struggles of western women who have the luxury of always knowing where their next meal is coming from, live in a home free from fear and domestic violence, and know not poverty and hardship.
The type of "depression" and similar states that women (like Amy) in the west "suffer" from en masse is a symptom of privilege. It's an indulgence. Full stop. It's both a complete absence of perspective of the brutal conditions women endure in other parts of the world presently, and historical illiteracy regarding our conditions and status in previous ages.
People need to do more bucking the fuck up and less indulging in socially acceptable emotional afflictions because they have it so easy, they need to invent problems.
