I don’t remember if my ex husband said directly that I couldn’t leave and couldn’t make it without him, but that was his message. 12 years later and the kids and I are succeeding and happy. He is alone. Yeah.

My ex husband told me the same thing time and again. Congrats to you, all the best to you and your kids!

I was raised to believe that women could not be independent of men, that we must always be financially dependent on them, that we paid for that with our bodies. I rejected that and have lived why life w/o men, pretty much.

I was told by every editor friend that there was "no way" I could put together a 480 page anthology with over 100 creators in less than 5 months. That I was "stupid to even try it." a year later, I won the Eisner & Harvey awards & got nommed for the British Fantasy Award.

Got married and had kids. Every step of the way everyone said we should wait or weren’t doing the right thing, but 13 years later, we’re a very happy little queer family.

I mean... Without getting into a messy rabbit hole of familial wtf, pretty much the fact that I managed to become a functional adult and KEPT SURVIVING, is because I'm super PETTY AF.
