We have been living with my parents for the last year or so after my husband got laid off and we had to move back from Texas. We were told we need to be out of this house by Nov 1, despite my husband still not having a job... one of their concerns is that they've spent almost 30 years building a reputation in this community...
If me being in your life is bad for whatever reputation you've built for yourself, then your life and its reputation are not something I want to be a part of either. I'm sad that this is happening. But I'm not going to be ashamed of my family being ashamed of my shamelessness. My life, my pain, my struggles and my ability to share them has helped others and they've helped me in return.
I have a solid system of support and love and friendship and a family that extends to the ends of the earth, who have chosen each other, not by blood but consciously and deliberately and lovingly. Most of my loved ones, those I consider family, I've never hugged in person but maybe one day will.
And I hope one day my children are unashamed of their lives and unashamed to challege the systems around them. I hope they want to change the world. If we're not good for your reputation, your reputation does not impress me much. My reputation is me. I don't fit in. I never did. I never will. I can't. I don't want to. I would rather be a force. And I have a reputation for being that. And I am proud of that reputation. I am okay with being El Mofo.
