πŸ“ Notes on Names and Privacy

Pseudonyms are used for certain people. Some people will have their pictures blacked out to respect their privacy. I do use the actual name for towns and cities because we don't necessarily live in those places or close to those places—we just travel to them.

🧑 About Us

I am Jane, married to Cowboy since 7-7-90.

🌻AKC is the oldest—born 2-12-83. Her mother is Cowboy’s first wife. She has been in a relationship with M.C. since July 16, 2014.

⏳ Past Mentions

Older entries may mention A.H. and J.H.

A.H. is a former girlfriend that Raven lived with. 

  • She had a son, J.B.R.H., born 11-06-14. 

Raven was present during the pregnancy, the birth, and remained in J.’s life until he was almost two years old. A.H. had problems, and the state stepped in, giving custody of J. to his biological father. Raven had no legal rights to J.—he was not the biological father, he never adopted J.—and so he lost him.
