From the Paper:

"Shortly after Dad moved out my grandfather died leaving Grandma, Mom, my sisters and myself alone in the house. I got very rebellious and acted out by adopting an outlandish appearance and erratic behavior. I made some bad lifestyle choices and found out one day that I was pregnant. Maybe I was looking to replace my father by having sex with my boyfriend. In any case, we got married because I thought I was in love and that we would live together happily ever after but we were divorced by the time I reached my early adult years at 20 and I became a single parent. Still, it hasn't been nearly as hard on me as it is on most single parents, I've got my mother and my grandmother and even though my sisters and I don't get along at all well, they're still great aunts to my child. People ask me if being a single parent is difficult and I have to tell them that even though it has its challenges, it's tremendously better than trying to be a belligerent co-parent."
