Chapter One

My mother, Dolores Eva Morales, and father were both born in Manhattan, New York. She lived in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and later moved to Caguas, Puerto Rico. She and my father, David Samuel Cólon, met when they were there. I was born there in 1980. According to my birth certificate, my father was 25 years old, and my mother was 20.

My father was an opportunist. He just happened to meet my mother, a disturbed young woman who was dying to be noticed, hungry for affection, thirsty for love. And . . . he knew it!

Like a vulture in the desert, he hovered over my mother and swooped her up. He shredded her into tiny little pieces and left whatever was behind in the dust.

During this turbulent time, he impregnated her, then took her to City Hall to get married.

That is not what my mother wanted.

Around 1983, my father decided he needed a little extra loving. He stepped out on my mother and commit the ultimate sin-adultery. Evidently, one woman was not enough for him. Not even two women were enough: that was not the worst part. The two “other women,” Conchita and Monica, were . . . sisters: sisters who fought over him like savages. They felt he was a big deal, almost a celebrity, like Elvis Presley.

My parents divorced before I was three and I lived with my biological father when I was young.
