I moved to Europe in 2003 to write fiction and drink heavily (no car!). Within a few months, I'd met a nice European man who let me take him hostage. We got married and, in 2005, had a little boy, Victor. When Victor was one, I realized I needed to get divorced and go home, but I had to get sober first. So I did that, on Oct. 1, 2006. Then, Victor's dad and I decided to split custody of our son, 50-50, between Finland and Minnesota. Since 2008, Victor has stayed six months with me, six months with his dad. And I've stayed sober the whole time. This blog is my attempt to reconcile the idea that I can be a good mother from eight time zones away when Victor's with his dad. Email me at 8timezones@gmail.com
