    About 12 years. Actually, my father disappeared in 1957, but they were still married. Mom had him declared dead seven years later.

      It’s complicated. My mother got married because she got pregnant at 17 while still a high school student. Back in those days, girls were kicked out of school if that happened. My eldest sister was born of that union, and then they had a second child, my eldest brother. My mother stayed married to their father only for a short while, I do not know how long. Shortly after that marriage imploded, I came along, I am not the product of that marriage nor of that pair of people. Shortly after that, my younger brother came along, the product of yet a different producer. [By “shortly after that”, I truly mean the three of us boys are each 13 months apart, born in September, October, and November of three consecutive years.]

      When I was four, my mother married my stepfather, and when I was eleven,
    my youngest sister came along. My mother and stepfather divorced when I was fourteen after ten years of being married to each other. Neither of them remarried, and he passed away about fifteen years ago.
