I once was told my family's history could be made into a book... or a soap opera. You, of Y!A, I am going to allow to decide whether or not this is true or false. It's a long read, though. VERY long.
Let's start with my mother, Dorothy. Her nickname was Dolly. She was adopted, and lived with an adoptive mother Viola and adoptive father John. Her adoptive parents had two children of their own, John and Eileen. They also had another adoptive daughter, Barbara.
When Dolly was 14 she started smoking 5 packs of Heavy Malboro a day. By the time she was 15, she was pregnant. Viola and John insisted she marry the man who impregnated her, and she did. This was when my mother dropped out of highschool. However, once the baby was born -- Maribeth -- my mother decided that she could not handle taking care of a child, and gave the baby over to her new husband's parents. Several weeks later, she got an anulment + divorce and their relationship ended.
It was about this time my mother met --
