Someone's Child

"What's a lady like you doing in a place like this?" I've been asked that question many times since two burly fellows from AA showed up on my doorstep one morning many years ago. They wanted me to go to Waupun with them. That's our state maximum security prison for men. "What would I have in common with those men?" I asked. Their answer: "You're an alcoholic, aren't you?" I went that Sunday and have been going to corrections facilities meetings ever since.
