I'm a midlife divorced mom living alone in the country with my 2 beautiful kids. with energy and purpose i outed and then divorced and then bought out the home impoverishing myself but giving the kids a place to stay through high school.<BR/><BR/>my sister has 4 children. the first born, age 16, has been put in therapy with focus on the family, kept in evangelical fundamentalist high school, and put on surveillance for attempting to gay actualize. the second born, is gender dysphoric since birth and needs boatloads of love, instead of denial or forced clothing marches, fundamentalist biblical theology, prosthelytizing high school, removal of all computers, monitoring, they are the real deal. they are what i lose it over. i'm the adult. i can deal.<BR/><BR/>but in the dealing process, i have apparently been cut out and cut off. I'm too together. I'm happy queer. My kids have no shame. I'm like, you know, just way too lesbian happy for my sister and way too good of an Aunt. i am not allowed to be near these 4 children that my sister birthed. all those baby parties. all that pregnancy assistance with bedrest. all that trying to be the sister and aunt that I wanted to be down the toilet, because, you know I'm as my sister likes to say "one of those." after a lifetime of being the best aunt, the super aunt, the great mommy, the one involved in every kids charity and community thing from here to timbucktoo, i am cut off, ostracized. dobson, he's the man, isn't he? i figure it is because I am a super mom, a loving aunt, a hell of a band-aid applier, emathatic, and cool. shit, think of the damage I could do. I'm out to my own kids, we are happier than pigs in shit about it, we are proud, queer, AND kid loving. and for this, all this pain and sadness from my sister who has quietly, stealthily, and persistently, affected my ex, and my family. i'm such a freakin' woman to fear, aren't I?<BR/><BR/>my sister deemphasizes the ostracization. it is done quietly. i was exorcised without even a whisper. amazing. If I bark about it, I'm looked at in indignation. god forbid we call the damn mental police because she is damaging her kids and herself with this monumental devotion to a cult.<BR/><BR/>what hypocrisy. what pain. what a freakin' futile waste. I don't know if you hear from lesbian moms much with case scenarios such as mine. but to rub salt into the wound, my ex h babysat my sister's 3 kids saturday so that she could actually attend the love won out conference, most probably with the cured gay nephew, my godson, an awesome kid who has been pulled out of his hobbies and passions and made to therapeutically avert. <BR/><BR/>tell me you all made a difference. forgive me for not being there. write me and tell me when I can show up for dobbieboy's next child abuse conference.<BR/><BR/>dobbiedunce should know that I was suicidal as a pubescent/teenager because I couldn't actualize. but deep down he probably thinks it decreases the non-averting gay population. what a waste of teenagehood for my nephew and niece, what risk for depression and suicide, what devotion at the altar of predudice and hate all wrapped up in the warm fuzzy glow of medicate and repent.<BR/><BR/>thanks.<BR/>country Mom and Sad AuntAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15275986.post-1130783172344347432005-10-31T13:26:00.000-05:002005-10-31T13:26:00.000-05:00The globe coverage was dissapointing all around. ...The globe coverage was dissapointing all around. For the anti-war march attended by at least a thousand they used a photograph of one of a handful of pro-war protestors. <BR/><BR/>If the news is that there is a big anti-war march then you talk about the anti-war march and you show the anti-war march. <BR/><BR/>If the news is about a pro-war march then you show that and talk about that. <BR/><BR/>There is this obsession in the media with showing "both sides" but it ends up being really unfair.<BR/><BR/>I was sad that some of the media that was there ended up not using their reports as well - on our protest against focus.<BR/><BR/>ABC 40 will have a story out later this week.Mark D.
