I have an infatuation (迷恋) with autumn. The colors of the
season, and the smells, have always thrilled me. I have always found joy in this
time of year. The last few autumns of my life, however, I recollect in shades of
gray rather than cheerful oranges and yellows. When ! became a
single mother, every aspect of life took on new meaning. Since I was used to
carrying out most of the parental duties without much help during my marriage, I
truly did not foresee how different parenting would become after the marriage
was over. But suddenly I realized I was a statistic. The daily routine was not
changed so much; it was the angle at which I had begun to look at
life. I believed my exhusband's lawyer was tracking every grade
the children made, and I was under a microscope in this new town where the
children and I moved our "broken home". I feared having to eventually establish
my family with each new teacher and each new term as a single-parent family. I
just wanted to be us again, without the stigma (特征) of the label that put on
us. During those few gray years, I would reassure myself that
soon things would be better, and that I would someday be able to feel whole
again. There is no mathematical equation of adults proportioned to children to
equal a stable, loving family. Every family has its strengths. In fact, studies
show that in families who read together, eat together and communicate openly,
children are likely to succeed academically, as well as socially and
emotionally. I am sure these habits are just as effective when practiced in
single-parent families. I realize now that I am not a statistic. We are an
active, vital family in this charming community, where we are not marked by any
stigma of any statistics of any focus groups. We are given
opportunity, all of us. We are surrounded by beauty and immersed in possibility.
There is joy to be found here, in what we see around us and in creating our own
rendition of how we want to be seen. There is strength and grace in our own
willingness to break free from conformity without falling behind the barriers of
self-imposed limitations or preconceived notions of where we should fit in this
world according to research.
