I was raised by two cold, selfish people who didn’t do anything fo us that they didn’t have to do to keep the neighbors from gossiping. The cheapest clothes, free food the they could get it, no extras like Scouts, music lessons, etc. But they gave to the church, lent money to their friends so they could look like bigshots, had new cars paid for in cash every couple of years. And anger was the only emotion on display. I escaped as soon as I could, made my own family several states away from them. And I never wasted a tear on them when they died.
