Back when I was growing up, it wasn't too common that a kid attended his mother's wedding, that usually happened before the kid was a kid. And to be honest, I don't remember if I actually attended my mom's wedding with the man who would become my stepfather, Mike.
This could be just the run-of-the-mill pre-teen hates his new stepfather story, and there's something of that to it. But really, this story is more the introduction of a kind of earthquake that trembled under the dynamics of my formative years, an earthquake that rumbled quietly, with occasional force, for about six years of my life.
