Two of them are the biological parents of Maya, one is the guy's legal wife. One of the women is my ex-girlfriend, but we haven't been romantically involved for decades, and have evolved into best friends. Strangely, we all get along. I have not witnessed a single argument between any of the parties in the time we've known each other. Go figure. "Anything for a weird life." - Zaphod Beebelbrox :-)
