i don't know if you will ever get this comment on such a long ago post. but i got here through your post about juno. and this nearly tore me up. this was me, too. my choice, my mom, that smell of alcohol. . .christ it haunts though i have no regrets at all. but you never forget it, it shapes you in some way.

thanks for sharing this. i've wanted to talk about it so badly myself at my blog but the words are hard and in the end i am such a chicken shit.

First, I'm a full-time father and husband. So, even though I don't have ovaries, your essay was shattering and awesome. I won't lie, I shed a few tears.

Second, you've been nominated for Hot Stuff Of The Week over at our blog, GNMParents.

Third, thank you for sharing yourself in this way.
