Authors Note
Though this story is written as
fiction, it is very real. This book was written from actual experiences; Kat,
not her real name, was my friend. Many of the events and dialogues were
enhanced or fabricated for the sake of the story.
I began to keep notes
of things that were happening and conversations that we had simply because they
were so unbelievable and I wanted to be able to see the words she used and
understand the situation more fully, trying to wrap my brain around all that
was happening. Ultimately, I decided the notes that I kept could be used in
court if necessary when Matt, not his real name, divorced her. As the notes
mounted in my hard drive, and the descriptions became more and more unreal, I
realized that this was going to be more than just notes, I had to tell this
story.
Researching Genetic Sexual Attraction on the web gave me more
information than I really wanted to know! This was a common, yet not widely
publicized occurrence. As work on the book progressed and I occasionally
checked back on the sites for information or to clarify information I had, I
found that more sites were being added about this condition. I was also
surprised, as I was watching Law and Order SVU one evening that this condition
was portrayed in their story line. (Season Seven, episode 07014) They
didnt use the term GSA, but it was apparent that was what it was.
Our saga is not over. Kat still lives with Daddy, her children
dont want to see her, and our friend is dead. It is our hope that someday
she will seek medical attention and will come to terms in her own mind with
what happened. In the mean time, we attempt to live our lives, be there for the
kids, and hope for the best. |
