HAVING KNOWN SINCE I WAS 16 HELPS.
FEBRUARY 1967 DAD GOT MAD WHEN I HAD TO STUDY FOR A BIG TEST. HE DECIDED HE WANTED HOT CHOCOLATE AND BUTTERED TOAST. HE INSISTED I MAKE IT FOR HIM AND THAT I JOIN HIM. WHEN I MADE THE SNACK AND WENT TO MY ROOM TO STUDY HE WENT BEHIND MY BACK PUTTING MY 10 GAL. AQUARIUM OUTSIDE IN FREEZING TEMPS TO KILL MY FISH. THE ONLY PETS ALLOWED.
THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I MISSED MY FISH I RETRIEVED THEM IN ICE COLD WATER AND SUFFERED BURNS. I COULDN'T USE MY HANDS AND WENT TO MOM WHO COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS AND SAID I HAD MY GRANDMA'S ARTHRITIS.
SHE ENCOURAGED HIM TO BE A BIG BABY AND HAD THE NERVE TO CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN.
