My mom was poor. She married my father at 18. His father was rich. They thought his father was going to take care of them, but he didn't. He used my father as an employee, taking advantage of him instead. They kissed his butt, thinking he would leave them an inheritance. When he died, he didn't leave my father anything. My father died two years later.

My mother never got past this, never stopped venting about this.

This is really hard to explain. I'm going to post several little posts about it, or Ill get timed out.
