 Mom In My Life
I live with my mother now, but other times I've lived with lots of women.... my grandma and grandpa are kind of mad that my mom is not with a man and that everybody else is married. They feel that women should be with men. So do most of my aunts and uncles. They don't tell me this stuff, but grownups keep quiet about things like that. It seems like everyone who has a dad also has a brother or a sister.
It seems like lesbian mothers usually have one kid. I don't tell other kids about my mom. At school it kind of bothers me because when we play or tell stories, there's always a mom and a dad. What really bothers me is when my friends come over and them they get into asking me if I know my dad. So I tell them no, not really. I ask my mom about my dad but, you see, I wonder about him. I don't know where he is. I don't think my mom knows either.
It's just hard to know that other kids have dads. Everybody else has a dad. My mom has had a couple of relationships with other women, but I didn't realize it at the time. I just thought that we were sleeping over at their house, or they were sleeping over... When I grow up I want to live with someone; I don't know if I want to get married and I don't know if I want to have kids. But really, the entire experience has let me know that I am safe, I am loved, and that my grandparents are wrong.
You don't need to marry someone of the opposite sex. As long as you're happy and there's love in your life, it's all you need. Sure I had my own struggles growing up, but if it hadn't been about not having a dad, it would have been about not having the right running shoes, or not being able to print clearly. Everyone has their issues, that was just mine.
