Creators Syndicate – I must have been 12 years old when my mother took me aside to tell me she had been married to another man before my father. I was stunned, shocked and, yes, ashamed.
In these days of multiple marriages and blended families, I can't even say why exactly I was ashamed. There was nothing to be ashamed of, even then. My mother's mother had died, and within the year, both her father and brother married. Feeling alone, she married, too.
