About a month before my 19th birthday, my parents sat me down and told me
the news that they were getting a divorce. I wasn’t really surprised since
they had been sleeping in different rooms for over a year, but the worst
part was that they wanted me to spend the summer with my mother’s twin
sister, Aunt Linda, who I haven’t seen for over 3 years. We all thought
that Aunt Linda was strange because she has never been married. The rumor
in the family was that she was a lesbian.
