Well it seems something fishy is going on. This blogger received an email about a sad, wrenching custody battle being fought by two lesbian moms in California. The email I presume is being widely sent as it ends with a plea for donations to assist in a $850 an hour legal battle facilitated by a PayPal account (how considerate!).The reason for my skepticism, aside from the fact that I'm a distrusting Jew from Jersey and even the most sought after family lawyers in Boston don't charge more than $350 an hour, is that it's signed with names a quick Google search identifies as a 52 year old actress (i.e., an unlikely biological mother of a 3 year old living CA) and a lesbian artist who died in 1972.
Funny someone should try to scam me today the day I located and emailed the boy (now man) who molested me regularly during 7th grade. Blame it on the weather, but I'm in the mood for revenge. If it's him, he's due for a little surprise, being the public figure it seems he now is.
Every week during art class this dude - son of our local kids' shoe salesman - cornered me in the supply closet and copped many a feel. Had then been now, 1974 been 2008, the kid would be in mighty big trouble. But then? You know the story. I didn't even know I got to tell anyone about it.
I've been thinking about it a lot as Lucy's daughter is 12 and it's just such a complex age of childhood and puberty all wrapped around each other. Hormones are bubbling so powerfully it's impossible not to confuse cause and effect (I thought about that boy or girl and therefore I asked for whatever it is they did.) And my family moved from one state to another when I was 12, causing a traumatic wrenching from friends and relatives and my own backyard.
So I'm travelling down memory lane, the rocky stretch, when a dead lesbian asks me for money.
It's enough to piss off a girl, even more than she already is.
So if you happen upon the AARP bio-mom and her dead girlfriend, heads up to you.
And them.
P.S. Maybe they're intentionally using pseudonyms? God Forbid I become lesbian non grata. Still something's awry.

When our children (or close-enough-to-be-our-children) become the age we were when we were molested or abused we frequently decide that NOW is the time to take action.
Happened to me, and my therapist said it was quite common.
GOOD FOR YOU!
yup, Ms. Moon, have to agree. happened to me, too. my oldest reached a certain age and boom.
be careful, harlie.
know what you want, understand why.
So basically, you think that the names Liz Ruscio and Suzanne Mahlerbe were exclusive to just 2 people, ever?
