I dreamed we all were eating a pizza I was 9 yrs old. For one second it was gold [View all]

My parents already had big marital issues a kid would not understand nor should about that.

My parents divorced soon after that, then the years of quiet & not so quiet despair. My rotten brother really really needed a firm presence, our Mom could *not* do that. He got into much much much legal trouble & served many many many years of deserved prison time.

My father died in August 2011, I only learned of it because his brother tracked me down one Saturday afternoon. I told my mom & the rest of them a week later.
Last time all of us 5 kids & my Mom were in the same room was the day before Mom passed.
