- I was raised in one of the odd N parents. Granted my mother had
- custody of me, but my father (and later his wife) was around on
- holidays and I stayed with him summers and my step-fathers(s) were
- also around. And granted I had some fantastic Xmases/b-days (I alyas
- had 2! :)...but...looking back I am not so sure it wouldn't have been best
- having only my mom to raise me. I was a surprise baby and my childhood
- was filled with abuse and witnessing abuse. I love my half-sisters
- dearly, but I could have done without the pain my father caused
- me--when he divorced my mom, we ceased to exist. -shrug- But then
- again, I would not be the person I am today.
