In my early 20s I was looking thru some family papers, and found my parents’ wedding license. There my mother was identified as “the divorced wife of…..”That was a shocker. It was literally decades before I found the courage to ask my Dad about it. (Turned out that during the War, when she was in the WAAF, Mom had married a dashing young pilot—who turned out to be Gay. This she discovered on her wedding night. With the marriage unconsummated, my Grandfather went to the town hall and paid £10 to have it annulled.) Weirdest part was I was at the ACA at the time and had a smallish crush on a girl who I now knew had the same last name as my mother’s first husband. I was not able to look at her the same way from then on. TMI, I know.
