Why? Because he was a really awful man. Bi-polar, which he wouldn't treat....the rest of the world was crazy. Misogynist, and I really despised his attitude. He hit me, he verbally abused me, he was convinced I needed to be in a mental institution, and tried to put me there. He wanted my son....which would happen over my dead body.

When he died, they didn't have a funeral; I think they were afraid of the number of people who would create a traffic jam, trying to see if he was really in the coffin.

So now, I spend the day with the women who did and do double duty, as both father and mother......
