My parents were OK. My mother is still around and I'm thankful for that. My dad passed two years ago. They divorced when I was nine. It was who they married afterwards that bugged me. My dad moved across the Detroit River to Windsor and married a "Miss-I-Know-Everything." She could be fun, but mostly she was annoying. My mother married a guy who was a "I-know-better-than-you-and-you'll-never-amount-to-anything," asshole. He provided well, but was very selfish and couldn't keep his zipper up, either. I was nonplussed about his death a year ago. I stopped giving a shit about him 25 years ago. I gave him credit for a few things, but he chased away his own kids, plus had no relations with the two 'extra's.'
I keep thinking a lot of things would be better in the US if we had a decent social safety net.
I'm sorry both parents married such jerks. I have one friend whose father remarried a total jerk. Luckily his mother remarried a wonderful guy who was a second father to my friend.
My dad's widow, Canadian, is from Manitoba. She's lived in that apartment building in Windsor, for 60 years. Because she's been there so long, she pays just $700 a month. ($550 US) She is now talking about moving back to Manitoba. Which I predicted years ago.
