I’m raising two beautiful and brilliant kiddos who inspire me everyday they’re with me. I’m in the midst of a separation/soon-to-be-divorce with their father. Short version: their father and I were together 9 years. We split up in the winter of 2008/2009. That spring, I came out as a lesbian, and then met a woman and fell in love. It seems like a whirlwind but suddenly my whole life makes sense for the first time. All the cliches are true for us – she completes me, and though I never believed in the concept before, she’s my soulmate. This journal is an exploration of what it means to be a lesbian and a mother. There are so few resources for women in my situation – women who left a hetero marriage with kids, and fell in love with another woman who wants to be a step-parent to those kids. I’d like to provide my own insights, in the hopes that others will be able to use them.
