Here’s the thing about being the child of a parent who abandons you, and then subsequently the child of a loving stepparent: IT’S NOT THE KID’S FAULT THAT YOU LEFT AND SOMEONE ELSE WANTED TO LOVE THEM. My own mother is super bitter about the acknowledgment my stepmother gets on Mother’s Day, but you know what? If you…

For me, if my husband had been very gung-ho about us having one name (I know that’s A Thing for some people) the options would’ve been he takes my name or we both hyphenate. No way was I about to be the only one to change! (luckily he gives no shits)

I have come to expect that from any ‘memoir’ that I read these days. That being said, I would be pissed if I had spent money on it. I’d like to give a big shout…
