My birth mother, we refer to as The Duchess for her high falootin’ ways. She has been known, however, when no one’s about, to be something less than Her Serene Beneficence.
I didn’t take this -love that whoever did had a smoke hanging from their mouth, creating that cool effect but found it years ago and stashed it. I stumbled upon it, looking at photos of my mammy. -not Dutch
Not so Duchess -y at the moment
Dutch as you might find her day or night, in the 70s and 80s: Drinking White Russians and waving guns — at her best. This is the 80s from her blouse and hair.

I actually DO have more to say about this…but I needed to think on it. I think it is good that you can just put it out there. I do to a certain extent, but not on a public blog, more to my friends. Having a horrible family I think puts us in some type of unspoken CLUB. Where things like this are like “oh shit. somebody else had to deal with madness too! DAMN!”

This is the least of my childhood! That’s why it’s easy to put out there and make fun of. The bad stuff, not so much.

I can’t remember my mother ever letting her guard down…..there was a lot of ‘Keeping up Appearances’ in her world. I might have been better balanced if there had been some rougher edges on my parents.

As I said to Cindy, this is the LEAST of whatever you want to call it. I think THIS is funny! They’re just broken down old people now.

I think this isn’t funny at all! I think its very sad to me that this is what you CAN share…because it is totally not something a kid should live with either. ANd the things you can’t share…horrify me without even knowing what they are! 😦

I’m sorry! Maybe I should take it down. My view is skewed by not having a generic sort of background. Dang. I truly did think it was funny but I spend a lot if time horrifying people who think I’m the freak when I guess I sort of am.

No, it’s YOUR blog, and whatever you want here should be here. What it says to me is not important.
