All In The Family: 10

Clearly either relieved or happy to unload her secret, mom started in earnest.

"According to my mother her first husband died before I was conceived. She changed her name back to her maiden name - Dixon. We were left broke and in debt. She went to work for a lawyer named Jacob Harrison, who needed a receptionist and was willing to help her with the creditors. Mom didn't have too many skills and she thought the guy was real nice so she worked very hard for him, learning all she could and, about a year later, mom was promoted to his personal legal secretary. My mother told me that during that year she had fallen in love with someone and they had an affair. She got pregnant but the man was married so she had me alone. An abortion was out of the question. My mother said lawyer Harrison was very generous, giving her a little more money and the time she needed during the pregnancy. After I was born, my mother sent me off to live with her sister and continued to work for lawyer Harrison. About five years later the lawyer's wife died after a long illness. My mother spent a lot of time with him then, keeping him together so his practice didn't collapse. After all, she needed the job and the benefits."

"Then late one afternoon, when everyone else had gone home, lawyer Harrison asked her to marry him - just like that. He said he had, after all, a seven-year-old son to take care of and he needed help. She could sleep in her own room and he wouldn't ask her for anything physical. In exchange for being his "wife" and helping to raise his son and attend the occasional social function, he would pay off all of her debts and the mortgage, sell her house and match dollar for dollar whatever she received as the sales price, have me live with her and him and provide for me and pay for my education. In addition, he would make sure she was provided for in the event of his death. 'Why don't you just get a live in' she asked. 'Because I am hoping you will come to feel about me as I feel about you' was his answer 'and I want someone I can trust to raise my son.' My mother ultimately agreed and shortly thereafter they were married. Over time, lawyer Harrison was right - my mother did love him and so did I. I could finally call him Jake."

"We moved in with Jake and his son - that's dad. Dad and I became instant friends. It was like we had known each other our whole lives. As we grew up, dad and I shared everything and anything. We talked all the time about everything. I got to trust him with anything. About the time we were eighteen, and just finishing high school, my hormones were raging. I was a rebel and wanted to sample sex but was afraid of a reputation if I had it with a stranger or a schoolmate. It was a real small town. Dad had a string of "loose" girls he was screwing on a regular basis so I figured he knew something about it. So I asked him if he was interested in having sex with me. Well, we were so much in love mentally it was easy for us to make that jump. There we were in a full blown sexual relationship, overnight. We saw no reason that could be an obstacle. We weren't really related, so we made love every afternoon after school until my mother got home from the office. We never looked back. There was no one else we wanted to be with. We continued at it all through college and during dad's law school. I purposely took a job at the law school to be near him. We were living together and our parents never had a clue. Dad came home to tell me he had accepted an offer to work in Hartford, Connecticut and that he would be moving east. He wanted me to come with him and I agreed."

would change my name back to Dixon, as I had changed it to Harrison on my sixteenth birthday as a surprise to Jake. He would marry another woman in a relationship of convenience. The woman would know about us and she would agree in advance to our continuing relationship. It was a wild scheme and we needed a really good friend to make it work. I didn't care so long as I could be with him. We convinced my friend Cecile, someone I was working with, to participate in the plan and she agreed. They liked each other well enough. She was from very modest means and just wanted her

to say anything?" she

I got pregnant around the same time. She had insisted that a child would cement their image and dad conceded the obvious. I said it was OK with me but I realized that the child was an excuse. Cecile had fallen deeply in love with dad, something I completely understood, and she was jealous of our relationship. She figured if she had a child with him, he might be less willing to spend time with me and honor the "bonds" of matrimony, notwithstanding our agreement. It was driving a wedge between us and it was a hurtful act - something I never forgave her for. Dad and I agreed to an open relationship considering he was sleeping with Cecile so that I could find a friend as well. For a while it seemed to work out. That was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. But life

all of us. Our due dates were within four weeks of each other. As it turned out, I was early and she was late so you were born on the same day. Dad was going crazy in the hospital having his wife and me giving birth at the same time. The nurses and doctors were constantly trying to calm him down as he went from room to room. In the end we both gave birth at about 10:30. Dad spent the next three days in the hospital. He almost had a nervous breakdown from the stress. We agreed then that we needed to try
