Ya...My X-Dad would beat the s^t out of all of us, if he found out Mom took us to church!!! They divorced when I was 9, so I was CRAP to many people, kids wern't ALLOWED to even talk to me. Unless it was to say something NASTY. My Mom was thought of as a WHORE, when she worked 2-3 jobs to support my Sister & me. My X-Dad played around with his support checks, a few times we were homeless. There wasn't the help for Homeless as there is now...not in the '60's. He was a 'bigwig' in the phone co, but couldn't pay $60.00 a mon. for 2 little girls? Once I went to 'HIS HOUSE'...The house Mom bought with her bussiness, a 'Beauty School', she was made to sell in the divorce. I asked for *OUR, support check, then saw it laying on a table. After he said he mailed it & throwing .57 cents at me, I grabbed it & ran. He yelled 'It's not signed'...it wasn't. WOW!!! were those Chicago winters cold living in the car. Have another hour to listen to all he did to us? All the time he was a 'GOOD CHURCH GOING PERSON', still is. Hates 'blacks', when my stepmom lived in Gary,Ind. Had a 9lb something 'premie', one stepsister had the others husb. baby, the other was PG with another guys child. But stepmom keeps telling us 'You were raised wrong', WHY were not 'Hippocratle Christins'. Why do ppl thing there religon is the best, the Mormons hate the Jews, Jews hate 'Jehoves' & on & on. YOU CAN KEEP THEM ALL!!!! I'LL KEEP THE GOD I KNOW!!!!
