My Two Moms

Nope, don't have two moms but the Globe and Mail has a kinda sweet article on a woman who grew up with two moms and some of the challenges:

It wasn't until I moved out on my own two years later, gaining both independence and perspective, that I began to see my mother and Lisa as people rather than just parents.

I am 22 now and Lisa is no longer “my mom's friend.” She is my stepmother and my parent. I am thankful for the experiences in my life that have given me the opportunity to be more open-minded. My mother has shown me what true courage is by following her heart. Though she has faced discrimination from strangers and even family members, she has instilled upon me the importance of being honest with yourself.
